      Description

The use of primary sources in the classroom is a great way to stimulate 
curiosity and to encourage critical thinking skills in your students. 
This program is aimed at teams of teachers and library media specialists 
who will take this course together so the use of primary sources can be 
properly integrated into the classroom.

Priority registration will be granted to TEAMS of teachers and library 
media specialists / librarians. Each team must have at least one 
librarian and at least one teacher. A single librarian should feel free 
to team with several teachers. If additional seats are still available 
near the end of the registration period, current students and 
individuals not on teams will be allowed to register. NOTE---please 
indicate your team partner in the "comments" field of the registration form.

The three classroom dates are all day long and will take place in the 
summer of 2009 on the following dates: June 23, July 21, and August 11. 
In between these meeting dates, students will participate in online 
activities and discussions as assigned by the instructors.

You can take this course for credit or non-credit. If you are taking 
this course for credit, you will receive two graduate level quarter 
credit hours from Wright State University. (Payment should be made to 
SWON Libraries--we will handle the paperwork for your credit prior to or
