BernieD says, "Pick out a topic and see what you can see."

JenW asks, "Bernie - that site stops at 1955 - anything like it that
goes past those dates?"

TomHD asks, "I wonder if they are adding beyond 1955?"

PhilipAB says, "I'm a little worried about copyright issues, but that's
a whole nothersubject for another day."

RichardS arrives from nowhere.
akiesel[guest] says, "I didn't know you could rent a car in 1947"

BernieD asks, "Nope. that's as far as it goes. How about having kids put
a site like that together with the help of a librarian and
a scanner?"

DeniseMT has arrived.
TomHD exclaims, "Hmmm- check out the timeline- what a great way to
combine history with media!"

akiesel[guest] asks, "So what do you want them to get out of it when it
is over?"

ArmelleI says, "Interesting. Especially the TV section"

TomHD exclaims, "To have kids extend beyond 1955- now there is an

DeniseMT goes OUT.
BernieD says, "That's the $1,000,000 question, Amy."

PhilipAB says, "Ads and pictures in general are often better at getting
students to express their *own* ideas instead of
borrowing them from their sources."

Laura [guest] has arrived.
TomHD says, "I could see creating a visual timeline, with historical
events and advertising piggy backing each other..."

BernieD says, "Get familiar with sites like this, and then look over the
standards you work with, and you'll find all kinds of
connections, I think."

KarenRL says, "I was thinking that same idea myself, Tom."

TomHD asks, "Bernie, how does one comb the net for open-ended sites such
as these?"

BernieD says, "You could ask them to repurposethe images to sell
