By viewing animals in the infrared, we can actually 'see' the differences between warm and cold-blooded animals. Infrared also allows us to study how well feathers, fur and blubber insulate animals. As you tour this 'Infrared Zoo', see what new information you can gather about the animals here that you would not get from a visible light picture."

In addition to the commonly known resources, we've also done quite a bit of work identifying how to get software donations directly from some of the smaller vendors and included sample letters that were successful in getting donations. Some of the donation request letters were written by Chris Tsang, who was a CTCNet VISTA at our local center last year at the PREP Computer Center of Bruce Wall Ministries. Through his work, we were able to identify many of sources of software donations that were previously not well known among most community technology centers. A list of some of the software vendors available include the following: Adobe, Autodesk, DigiDesign, Full Armor, Intuit, Knowledge Adventure, Learning Company, Lotus, Macromedia, Microsoft, New Deal, PowerQuest, Symantec and Voyetra The link for the software donations page is: <http://www.ac4.org/resources/software.html> Hope you find this useful.

As you will note in the announcement below, teachers are being hired to help develop resources and curriculum for the site. Those who contribute resources, lesson plans, etc., will be compensated. If you'd like to be considered as a consultant, a pop-up window will open when you log onto the web site, and you can fill out information at that time. There also is a link on the pop-up window to subscribe to e-mail announcements for the series. If you'd like to consult, or if you'd like more information, contact Kathy Honda directly. (By the way: the series and resources accompanying it will be the focus of our Social Studies forum set for May 22.) Michael Hutchison -------- Original Message -------- Subject: www.jimcrowhistory.org online! Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2002 22:02:57 -0700 From: Kathy Honda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] April 30, 2002 Hello Teachers! I am so proud to announce the launch of the www.jimcrowhistory.org web site! The PBS four-part series, The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow, is set to air this Fall, but hundreds of teachers all over the country have already signed on in the last 5 months to create the beginning of what we think will be the most extensive web site on the Jim Crow years on the Net. This site is a work in progress, and will continue to be one until the airdate. We are fortunate to have a synopsis of each of the films written by the producer, Richard Wormser. The history themed overviews in the history section are at once comprehensive and accessible-teachers will definitely want to print out the pdf of these essays for use in their classroom. Also, many of the images in the Image Gallery have never before been published online, and they offer a look at Jim Crow that is not commonly seen, or known. The geography section offers a unique perspective of the United States, seen through various levels- Jim Crow Lynchings, African American Colleges, Jim Crow laws Outside the South. This is just a sampling of what is already on the site---please take a look for yourself. We are continuing to hire teachers to build content on the site. There is a multitude of ways that you can contribute. Our most pressing needs are: Web Site Evaluations: Teachers offer their reviews of external web sites dealing with issues related to Jim Crow. We have over 25 individual topics already online, with several hundred web sites to recommend already, and we want to include more! Narratives: If you know a Jim Crow survivor who would like to share his/her story with us, let us know! You'll get a fee for conducting the interview. If it's your story you'd like to tell, all the better! Lesson Plans: As content goes up, we need teachers to develop lessons on how to use this unique content with students. A sampling of lessons are online now, but so much of the core material is now in development that lesson plans will be needed throughout the process of developing this site. We are looking for teachers who can show others how to best utilize this information in creative ways. Please also note that we are offering an entire American Literature section that will connect some of the best literature to the Jim Crow period. Geography: Add to the map from your state- add a personal anecdote if you are an alum from one of 88 African American-Colleges, add lynching statistics to your state's map, add Jim Crow laws in your state. We will also develop other layers of the map- Jim Crow and Gender, Jim Crow People, Jim Crow Great Migration, Jim Crow Court Cases. We need people to fill in the map with their research, so please contact us! Getting the Word out: If you can submit our web site to your teacher list-serves, more teachers can have access to the materials. As always, teachers will be paid for all the work contributed. Look for updates every month on new material on this site! I'm looking forward to working with you.
