Digitizing History | Explorers in the Field

From the Education Resource Library! Archivists Karen Cerka and Sara Manco at National Geographic describe how technology has changed and has always been critical to preserving valuable historical collections of photos and films. From black and white films to microfiche to hi-def digitization, archivists show why preservation is critical to sharing information in the digital age.

Here are some activities for your students:
K-5: Draw a picture or photo strip of something you learned.
Grades 5-8: Write a short “news article” about what you learned.
High School: Produce a short video that explains something you learned today.

Share your students activities by @NatGeoEducation and using #ExplorerClassroom on Twitter. Our team will share your student work with the Explorer.

We invite you to explore collections of activities that have been developed for educators, parents, and caregivers to implement with K-12 learners. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/education/classroom-resources/learn-at-home/
