Digital Vaults: National Archive Social networking for primary sources
April 13, 2008 at 10:58 am 2 comments
Glenn Wiebe and Dave Warlick have both recently posted on Digital Vaults, a new website by the US National Archive that brings elements of social networking to primary history and social science resources.
Digital Vaults is an interesting concept and one I think works well with it’s logical tag organisational structure. The digitisation of sources and Web2.0 twist makes the wealth of knowledge highly accessible and even allows the user to create their own collections.
Read Glenn Wiebe’s post and Dave Warlick’s post for more information.

We’ve also put together some gaming resources that you might be interested in. Many of the links and materials have been listed by a group of teachers participating in a year-long study group.
