Early chapters review basic primary source concepts, outline links between primary source curricula and content standards, and discuss the increasing pressure on schools to help students function effectively in the technology-rich, global workplace of the 21st century. A core chapter explains the 'mystery' and buzz surrounding Web 2.0, using clear, nontechnical language, and offers a list of popular Web 2.0 tools, with descriptions and suggestions for using them with primary sources. Subsequent chapters cover six categories of primary sources, with an introduction to each in its historical context, information on online sources, and ideas for using them in the classroom. Information on subscription options and software features is also given. Each of these chapters includes a reproducible primary source analysis worksheet, which seems to be intended for advanced middle and high school students. A final chapter looks at the collaborative potential of Web 2.0 and tools such as wikis and bookmarks. B&w photos and illustrations are included.
