Exploring history and primary sources with @KEDCGrants and the FDR Presidential library, Jeffrey Urbin. He brought those sources to life using a rat puppet and a finger pointer, just for starters! Fun, entertaining, interesting and useful! It was a GREAT session! @passport2lead

Happy Birthday to theoretical physicist Albert Einstein! See Einstein's 1934 poem presented to FDR and much more in our current special exhibition "SIGNATURE MOMENTS: Letters From the Famous, the Infamous, and Everyday Americans." #FDRSignatureMoments

Not many professional developments make me want to immediately post, because it was JUST THAT GOOD, BUT Mr. Urbin’s presentation from @FDRLibrary was!! Where else can you get primary sources, a rat 🐀 puppet, and a tiny finger pointer all in one? Check him for student resources.
