If anyone here on the list is interested in reading a little more about this, I wrote a piece in the January 2003 issue of Cable in the Classroom magazine about the Digital Classroom and the National Archives educational outreach -- and about using primary source documents in general. <http://www.ciconline.org/Enrichment/Teaching/learningwithtechnology/ magarticles/mag_foundingdocs_jan2003.htm> Lee Ann Potter, the director of education and volunteer programs at the National Archives, is the person primarily responsible for managing all this stuff, and she is terrific. I'm sure she would be interested to know if any adult educators are using these resources.
