Learning Centre- A Library Archives Canada resource

This is a particular site I wish to draw attention to in an individual blog so it will not be missed! It is the Library Archives Canada (LAC) Learning Centre, a national website designed for teachers and students aimed at providing educational resources. LAC has a rich and valuable collection, and The Learning Centre makes more of their resources available online. This makes the national collection available to teachers and their students throughout the country.

There are so many fabulous finds on this site; I highly recommend it as a resource to feature on any Canadian public library webpage for teachers. I will highlight a few of its features, but please check it out if you haven’t already. http://www.collectionscanada.ca/6/32/index-e.html

Unique resources available through the Learning Centre include: “digitized primary sources (printed documents, diaries, maps, illustrations, paintings, manuscripts, and printed and recorded music)” as well as, “comprehensive teaching units and strategies, lesson plans, ideas and activities for the classroom, quizzes, games and guides on using primary sources, as well as workshops for professional development”.
