Dear Past PPSP Participants and Supporters,
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 5-12. The series will run from January - March 2016.
Free registration is open now so please consider visiting the project website for more information and to signing up today! http://k20.internet2.edu/presidents
Here is a direct link to the program sign up form: http://goo.gl/V0d9ep . We also appreciate any help you can provide in sharing with other teachers who might be interested.
This year's theme is "Presidential Powers and the Constitution". Through the use of primary source documents and interactive video-conferencing, the 2016 program series will explore how different presidents in different eras have interpreted and exercised
