    National Museum of the American Indian. Thumbnails and sharp graphics of some of the finest art. I especially enjoyed the exhibit on Indian Humor and the Native American Quilt exhibits. "An exciting and informative curriculum has been developed by the museum's Education Department to support the exhibit To Honor and Comfort: Native Quilting Traditions. Four distinct lesson plans correspond with the exhibition sections: Origins, Honoring, Design and Community. Structured for independent classroom use throughout the school year, the curriculum utilizes contemporary objects such as quilts to present a Native perspective on historical events and contemporary issues." The lessons are not on-line, but a handy "mail-to" on the site will link you to those who will send the lessons. This is a splendid site and it is organized so that young children can move easily through each exhibit. A common interface (thumbnail menu and large navigation buttons on each page). The larger images load quickly with sharp and vivid colors. (For further research, see Surviving the Winter on the evolution of quiltmaking among two cultures in New Mexico, by Dorothy R. Zopf.) The archive links the past exhibits of: Memory & Imagination -- The Legacy of Maidu Indian Artist Frank Day, To Honor and Comfort: Native Quilting Traditions, Agayuliaraput - Our Way of Making Prayer, The Living Tradition of Yup'ik Masks and Woven by the Grandmothers Nineteenth Century Navajo Textiles.

     Education First: Donner Online "Online Donner" is a type of Web-based activity in which you learn about a topic by collecting information, images, and insights from the Internet, and then you "paste" them into a multimedia Scrapbook (a HyperStudio stack or a Web page) to share your learning with others." Without a doubt, this site (and earlier productions by the team) could provide a "template" for creative use of the Internet. Tom March and associates assume in this unit that classroom instruction and print resources have provided some overview of a topic and students are guided online (or on the LAN) through cooperative online research, role-playing activities and media production tasks to address "Big Questions" about the topic. Students must think about and evaluate what they have learned and package their findings for publication. Teachers can easily download the entire unit and adapt it to their classroom. Students who have done similar units in the past should (with skilled guidance by the teacher) be able to "process" and evaluate the projects and gain some self-reliance as learners. When you think about it, the team at San Diego that produced this web site is following the "template" and modeling the activities they expect from their electronic students.

     What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset. - - - Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior and orator, 1890

94. The 1850s: Union in Peril
    Listen to one of Lincoln's campaign songs from the 1860 presidential election. The "must visit" link on the page, however, is the Crisis at Fort Sumter. An informational page inlcudes: Background, Dilemmas of Compromise, Lincoln's Inauguration, Initial Problems at Forts Pickens and Sumter, Hesitation and Decision, Final Orders, And The War Came, Aftermath, Reflections. The "Final Orders" page presents two calendars for March and April of 1861. The calendars have clickable dates that link to text files of events, people and decisions made on that date so that students can follow in detail the sequence of events. This is an exceptional technique for a "micro" study of unfolding historical events. With this detailed background available (and other data on the site and in most texts,) students can proceed to "Lincoln's Final Choices" -- a page that details the options available. Informaton describing the situation and the choices is hyperlinked back to the main pages in case students need to review critical information. Finally, students are given these instructions:
    "Consider all the information and advice presented, and place yourself in Lincoln's position. What Policy Would You Choose and Why? Would You: Abort the Sumter Mission and Withdraw from the Fort, Proceed with his Relief Efforts or Choose Some Other Course of Action"

    Students then use the Notebook to write an answer explaining their decision (they are provided with a link to Lincoln's actual decision). The "Notebook" is a Web form that requires a CGI script on the server. However, The contents of the Notebook on the site are not saved. If you send students to the site and ask them to repsond, have them e-mail the Notebook contents to you. For example: Send E-Mail to your email address here. Five "action/response" problems are provided on the site.
