From the Smithsonian Office of Educational Technology:

Many voices of the American people have contributed to and continue to shape the nation and its communities, from its earliest beginnings to the present. Join Orlando Serrano of the National Museum of American History (NMAH) to consider how material culture can be a point of departure for inquiry, analysis, research, and information sharing.

Orlando shares techniques developed from his time as a classroom teacher and in his role as Head of PreK – 12 Learning at NMAH. You’ll leave with resources to activate learning in your classroom and a deeper understanding of the never-ending process to become one nation.
