Check out this amazing April PD with the Montana History Portal

Have you ever wanted to research a Montana or US history topic and share the details of your discovery with your students, including images and other primary resource materials as references? Now is your chance. Spend two days—hotel, meals, and tours included at no cost—with the Montana History Portal staff learning how to create various types of digital exhibits using the content from the History Portal. Participants will earn 16 OPI credits and a $425 stipend for your finished exhibit. 

Select a topic, gather the details, read, research, and create an exhibit of your topic.  Your exhibit will be published on the History Portal website, where you can access it, and it will be available to the public as a history lesson of its own. 

The History Portal contains over 88,000 items to help tell the story of a variety of topics. U.S. History and World History can be taught through Montana primary source materials, and primary sources can be used successfully with ALL ages. 

As part of the 2-day workshop, you will get a sneak peek tour of the new Montana Heritage Center and a historic walking tour of the Montana Capitol grounds to help inspire ideas and learn more about our state history. 

Register to join this April 12 and 13, 2024, workshop, which will be held at the Delta Hotels Helena Colonial, 2301 Colonial Drive, Helena.
