participation for week 10/24-11/1

I read a very interesting article this week on CNN. The article was about a mexican/american who had served in WWII as a medic and who ended up being put in a slave camp in Germany. This guy just recently donated his diary to the Holocaust museum and it got me thinking that there are some great resources that you can find on museum websites to help bring media and primary information into the classroom. In fact on the American holocaust museum website there is a section that is just for educators to help them teach their kids in the classroom. The link for this is http://www.ushmm.org/education/foreducators/  There are many other museum websites that have similar links. This is great for not only history teachers but also science teachers such as a link at the air and space museum in the smithsonian.
