[kids-lib] Library of Congress Online Conf on 10/25 & 10/26 PM => Discover and Explore with LoC Primary Sources

[Jennifer Maurer]

Please pardon the cross-posting, but I thought some of you might be interested in some of the sessions. For example, there is one called Kindergarten Historians: Primary Sources and Early Grades Learners.

The Library of Congress is hosting a free two-day virtual conference on Tuesday, October 25th and Wednesday, October 26th from 1:00 to 5:00 pm Pacific. The first afternoon will start with a keynote speaker. On Tuesday there are three session blocks, and on Wednesday there are four. Each 50-minute session block will have two options.

Instead of registering for the entire event, register for the individual sessions you are interested in. Click on session titles to register.

Certificates of participation will be offered for the live webinars, and for a limited time, for the recorded sessions that will be posted soon after the conference is over.

Participation will be via Adobe Connect, and each session will operate somewhat like a webinar.
