Adventure of the American Mind -- using and producing digitized Library of Congress materials

The Adventure of the American Mind (AAM) program offers extensive learning for Denver-area educators in accessing, using, and producing curricula using the Internet and digitized primary source materials from the Library of Congress (LOC) collections. AAM workshops are available to in-service and pre-service classroom teachers, librarians, media specialists, educational support personnel, and college faculty. A new rotation of classes begins in Summer 2005, and other rotations follow. Go to the AAM website for additional information.

AAM participants can earn Recertification Credits and Graduate Credits to enhance your career. By participating in the AAM-Colorado program, you can obtain your American Memory Certification and apply for a $1,500 Technology Acquisition to be used in your school, and earn up to $450 in Digital Resource Certificates redeemable at Metro State’s Digital Primary Source Center.
