Classroom Application

Maybe I am way off base, but I am thinking about how you would use Omeka in the classroom…Would 5th grade be too young?  Nancy–what could children of this age archive?  Or is there a “kids” version of Omeka out there somewhere?  Seeing this archive come to life as a result of this fusion of images and metadata really is neat…just wondering how or if I could use it with the kiddos…

Even for starters, having kids look through archival material that pertains to specific curricular areas would be a start–exposure to primary docs is always a wonderful teaching technique and opportunity for discussion…
