Maine Memory Network

The Maine Memory Network is a great place for pictures and artifacts from places in Maine to be uploaded. With these you are able to look around the site and find things from your hometown, and surrounding towns that you know of. However, this is dependent on whether or not your town has uploaded anything to this website. In the classroom, since I am going to be a social studies teacher, this website could come in handy big time. One way that I could use it is to compare landmark photos from past and then in the present time, and use them to compare and contrast the difference and similarities between the two. Being able to see the difference between places from then and now is really cool to look, for anyone of any age really. I could have the class find the things that haven't seemed to change in the picture and then the big things that have changed. Things like vegetation, landmarks, oceans or lakes, and roads are things to look for. This would be very interesting and engaging for the kids to do in the classroom.
