From the Arab American National Museum website:

"Through a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services, the AANM presents a free three-day summer workshop to enhance educators' knowledge of the Arab World, Arab Americans and Islam."

From the Primary Source website:

"How can American art be used to deepen your students' understanding of democracy in American life? Bringing together educators from across the country in conjunction with the NEH Picturing America program, Democratic Vistas will show you new ways to incorporate important works of visual art in the core humanities curriculum. Day One of the institute explores democratic values and aesthetics as a theme in American art; Day Two highlights the "art of the people" - folk and traditional art, as an expression of American creativity. The course takes advantage of Boston's unique artistic and historical resources with a downtown walking tour of civic monuments, a museum field trip (Boston's Museum of Fine Arts) and presentations by leading scholars in the field.

Following the course, participants must complete a lesson plan or school project highlighting one of the works in the Picturing America collection."

From the Center for Digital Storytelling website:

"The three-day Educator Workshop is designed specifically for K-12 classroom teachers. First, each participant develops a digital story not more than 150 words in length. The creation of these shorter pieces provides hands on experience with the entire digital storytelling process, including a story circle, script writing and recording, and the production process, using digital technology.

As they finish their digital stories, participants move into the second component of the workshop in which they touch on implementation issues. Strategies for managing the creation of digital stories in the classrooms are presented, and opportunities for participants to practice their technology teaching skills are offered.

Each participant receives a DVD set of K-12 digital storytelling teaching resources, including software tutorial guides and diagrams to support the operation of commonly used digital storytelling hardware."

From the Virginia Center for Digital History flyer:

"The Digital Storytelling Workshop for Educators is designed specifically for K-12 Classroom teachers. The workshop has two components. First, educators develop their own short digital story based on first-person personal narrative. We take participants through group story development, teach them the basics of image and video editing tools and assist them in completing their digital story. Teachers will then move into the second component of the workshop in which they will be introduced to strategies for managing the creation of digital stories in their classrooms and given the opportunity to practice their technology teaching skills."

Each day, participants in this institute will visit and learn about a different area of Palm Beach County.

The Archives of American Art, National Portrait Gallery, and Smithsonian American Art Museum have collaborated to create a series of teaching posters on themes such as Westward Expansion and the Harlem Renaissance. Attendees at this workshop will receive a set of the posters and explore ways to use the images, documents, and activities in the classroom.
