PPSP planning list

["Rosenblum, Linda" <>]

Looks great Matt.  Congrats on getting this put together so smoothly.  Sorry I can't participate this year.  I'm still on detail doing a special project with the Dept of State.

I'll try to watch the live stream on events when I have a chance.

Thanks

Linda

Hi Everyone, 

I wanted to reach out with a quick update and a reminder that the first presentation of PPSP 2017 is in 2 weeks! 

Last week, the PPSP was announced as a new content provider on CILC and we have already begun receiving registrations via the site. 

CILC PPSP Page:  http://www.cilc.org/ContentProvider/ViewContentProvider.aspx?id=532

Also, unfortunately the Sixth Floor Museum will no longer be able to participate in this year's series.  We thank them for their hard work and look forward to working with them again next year! 

If you could, please share the below reminder with your communities and marketing channels.  

Thank you!  

Matt

The National Park Service, U.S Presidential Libraries, and Museums, the Internet2 community, and cultural and historic organizations nationwide are proud to offer the annual Presidential Primary Source Project (PPSP), a series of free, standards aligned, 45 minute interactive videoconferencing programs aimed at students in grades 6-12. The series will run from January - March 2016. Each program will also be live streamed and recorded for on demand viewing for free.

 

This year’s theme is "Culture, Society, and Presidential Decision-Making."
