Networking Opportunities for Our Land Publications

1	Sharing IDEAS	Sharing classroom experiences Every teacher has good and bad experiences in the classroom and wishes, at times, he or she could share them with others and gain from the experiences of others. One objective of this page is to develop a bulletin board of such experiences. By submitting them here, and including your name, grade, subject, and school name, we propose to develop an inventory of shared experiences and the lessons that came out of them. (You will be contacted by e-mail when a submission is accepted.)
2	Asking QUESTIONS	You may have specific questions to ask. If you have a concern, need information, or just want to know how or why about something related to U.S. or state history, you are invited to submit it here. We will attempt to provide our answers and others may add theirs as well. Questions and answers which, in the editor's opinion, merit publication will appear here.
3	Mailing LIST NOT SHOWN	To receive announcements of products, new lessons, etc. Postal mailings as well as electronic mailings will be made from time to time announcing new or revised products, sharing other information, alerting recipients to new pages on this site, and other timely information. Submit your postal mailing address here. Inclusion on our mailing list is an available option. You may withdraw from it at any time. (Note: Our mailing lists are never shared with others.)
4	Suggesting LINKS	There are many valuable internet resources to which we may establish links. One goal of this page is a catalog of worthwhile internet links and their descriptions. Readers are invited to submit link suggestions which will then be visited by the editor before inclusion here.

LISTS
As submissions are received, they will be placed in the following lists
(at the editor's sole discretion).

IDEAS Your experiences and suggestions to go here:

Without your ideas, this box will be useless. We don't want that! So here are three questions to stimulate your thought and encourage your contribution: 1. What is the most unusual approach you have used to teach a basic principle of history?

2. What have you done to successfully bring history to life for your students? 3. What have you tried that has NOT worked as a teaching tool in history?

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Your questions or answers to go here:

Without your questions, there will be no answers! We don't want that! So here are three answers, can YOU supply the questions? (If you don't, we'll have to.) 1. Use historical fiction to teach language arts - but be sure students understand that it is fiction.

2. Have students calculate distances travelled by explorers using the scale of miles on their study maps. Have them convert their answers to metric and other units of measure. 3. Have students draw maps of their community beginning with their home as center and radiating at least as far as their school.

SUGGESTED LINKS to go here:

Here are four internal links, but we want you to add new ones. Especially helpful would be sites where you have found useful resources, free lesson sets, beneficial historical information, or useful teaching hints. (Be sure to give the complete url for each site.)

1. For teacher support. 2. For testing and assessment strategies. 3. For answers to frequently asked questions. 4. For a printable lesson on geography (rivers).
