Project-Based Learning Toolkit
Over the course of the three-part webinar series, educator participants will co-create a Project-Based Learning Toolkit. Informed by the strategies and themes explored in each webinar, the toolkit will include practical insights, customizable templates, sample student project ideas, curated Library of Congress resources, and ready-to-use classroom strategies. It will be designed to strengthen learners’ research skills, particularly their ability to navigate archival collections, critically evaluate primary sources, and engage thoughtfully with multimedia cultural products.
To take full advantage of this learning and tool-building opportunity, we recommend participating in all three webinar sessions, but it is fine to attend just one or two sessions.
