ABT: Virtual Teacher Institute

[huskerblitz]

I'm attending the American Battlefield Trust Virtual Teacher Institute. I thought I would post some of the public links that some might find interesting.

The first one is associated with Ford's Theater. It examines reactions to Lincoln's assassination from across the country and the world.

Remembering Lincoln is an IMLS-funded project of Ford's Theatre Society that serves to engage teachers, students, enthusiasts and scholars with primary sources detailing responses to the Lincoln assassination.

A little disappointed with this one. I uploaded different photos of myself but I keep getting an error saying no face can be detected. And the photo size is under the maximum size.
