Welcome to Primary Sources in Education!

The goal of this wiki is to provide a one-stop shop for educators to learn, compare, contribute and share our wealth of knowledge with one another about the use of primary source documents and Web 2.0 tools in an ever-changing world of technology.

Primary sources provide first hand accounts of an event you are studying. A primary source is an artifact, a document, a recording, or other source of information that was created at the time under study. It serves as an original source of information about the topic. As students learn to analyze primary source documents, they begin to draw their own conclusions based on their understanding of the documents. Students are drawing upon prior knowledge, making connections, as well as learning new content.
