Recorded Webinar: Black History Month with MeL

In case you missed it, we hosted a webinar on January 19th titled "Digital Discoveries For Black History Month". I had representatives from Britannica, Gale (Research in Context, Kids InfoBits, OVIC) World Book, and ProQuest join me to help showcase some of their products that we offer through the Michigan eLibrary. It was amazing to see the great wealth of Primary Source documents, biographies, Freedman's Bank Records, and articles that can be used in the classroom related to Black History Month.

Here is a link to the recorded webinar:

Please email me with any questions. I will also be posting this information on MeL Teachers. Feel free to forward to your colleagues.
