NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER BLOG

In an effort to reach teachers and students that may not be able to make the trip to Philadelphia, the education team at the National Constitution Center continues to expand its reach beyond the confines of the museum with its most recent endeavor, a venture into the blogosphere with its mission-inspired blog:

http://civiclearning.blogspot.com

The new blog provides educators with lesson ideas, conversation starters, and links to the electronic resources necessary to effectively teach current events with a constitutional connection. This blog will become an invaluable instrument to the educator who wishes their students to be well-informed and to understand the relevance and daily impact the constitution has on their lives.

Recent postings include:
- Teaching the President's Address to Congress
- Happy Birthday 16th Amendment - Primary Source Lesson Plan
- The 2010 US Census
- Teaching Attorney General Holder's Comments on Race
