History Live from the Minnesota Historical Society

History Live is a program from the Minnesota Historical Society that brings live historians into your classroom in a fun and interactive way.  Cost for most 45-60 minute sessions is $75 to Minnesota school districts.  Sessions are cross-curricular and aligned to the Minnesota standards for social studies.  This could be a great way to keep your students engaged in May.

MRVED YouTube Channel

The MRVED YouTube Channel has lots of great “how to” videos and every MRVED update from this past year.  The “how to” videos range from Google Docs to iPad apps, to Twitter and Diigo.  If you are ever in need of a “how to” video, contact Brandon and he will create one for you and place it on the MRVED YouTube Channel for the benefit of all.
