Greetings, Museum-L

 

Join the Smithsonian Institution's first online education conference,
February 4 and 5, 2009, and explore fascinating aspects of the life and
death of one of our nation's greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln. 

 

In this innovative format, you will interact in real-time with
Smithsonian experts and hundreds of fellow participants.  With only a
computer and an Internet connection, you will see and hear live
presentations, take part in a moderated Q&A forum, and exchange ideas
with a community of learners.  It's a special behind-the-scenes look
into the Smithsonian's collections of artifacts, artworks, and
documents, from the perspectives of history, science, and art.
Registration for the conference is free and open to everyone.  Sessions
will be archived for later viewing.  

 

For the conference program and registration, go to
SmithsonianEducation.org/Lincoln. Special Offer: The first hundred
registrants will receive a free teaching poster and lesson plan,
"Lincoln in Richmond."  

 

You might also be interested in the audio postcard about the event,

Undersecretary for Art, History, and Culture.  It can be accessed at:
