Project Whistle-stop

Project Homepage:http://www.whistlestop.org

Project Whistle-stop will enable educators to work with the Harry S. Truman Library to put original resource documents on-line. Teachers will develop new curricula and on-line instructional lessons. Students will use these resources to create on-line research portfolios. For example, a team of Independence High School students with an interest in the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima would use interactive software to tour the Truman Library and access original source documents. They could review project folios of work done by students from across the state in previous years, and search for historians willing to mentor students with this research. Eleven consortium partners will contribute to this work conducted by the Independence, Missouri School District.
