1. On Monday, September 15, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, in partnership with Verizon's Thinkfinity.org, launched “Smithsonian's History Explorer.” The museum's new education Web site offers free, standards-based, innovative resources for teaching and learning American history.

2. Students can sharpen their critical thinking skills by exploring objects such as a Native American buffalo hide painting, taking electronic behind-the-scenes field trips with museum curators to learn how exhibitions are produced, or playing online matching games where they can discover the seven roles of the President or how to build a sod house.
