P.S. … if you start making colleagues wear x number of pieces of flare (flair?), they should call me. We’ll mount an intervention –starting with lunch at Mia’s.

Wow… I’m totally disappointed in you, Neil. Normally you are such a leader … a talented and experienced editor turned publishing pioneer.

And then you go an introduce “Formal Fridays?”

tsk… tsk… tsk…

At LernerMedia we rejected that concept years ago. We’ve moved on to John and Yoko-esque “work-in-bed-all-day Wednesdays (sometimes extending into Thursdays),” and “bottomless on the boat” workaholic weekends. In fact, when working in Paris we stay as p.j.-less as possible.

The venerable and often-quoted “some scientists” say, “Clothes inhibit creativity!” (However, they do offer modest protection against overheated laptops.)

Only media work (and an array of local laws) forces us to done the restrictive vestments of traditionalist, repressive, Puritanical, Illuminati-controlled civilization. It’s a little known fact that those UN black helicopters also secretly deliver jackets and club ties to War Lords destined for Davos.

We look forward to the Milestone Documents of Bohemian lifestyles!

Comment on Transforming History Education with Technology by SchlagerBlog » Blog Archive » Teaching with the iPhone and iPod Touch

[…] Of course, since we happen to have several new apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch aimed at history teachers and students, I’m intrigued primarily as a publisher (”How can we persuade educators to give our apps a try in their classrooms?”). But I’m also interested in the topic because I’m a big believer in the need for educators to find new and creative ways to motivate students and facilitate learning. Technology, obviously, is one of the best ways to do this, as I recently blogged about. […]

Talking about history and technology, want to introduce the massive digital project we have been working on for the last seven years. It is the Lincolnarchives Digital Project. This is the first digital project to scan the entire contents of a president’s administration. In preparation for the Lincoln Bicentennial, 2009 and the upcoming Civil War Sesquicentennial, 2011, we have been busy searching the holdings at the National Archives facilities in College Park, Md. and Washington, D.C.

Every document dated March 4, 1861 through April 15, 1865 is being scanned in color, and placed online at www.lincolnarchives.us. Documents are being transcribed to provide full search capabilities. Related photographs, maps, newspaper articles, etc. are attached to the documents to provide supplemental resources.

The Lincoln Institute in partnership with our project, offers the annual Lincoln Symposium presentations of 2005-2009 online.

There are over 6000 documents currently online. From the papers of Ambrose Burnside, Benjamin Butler, and Henry Halleck, to the Pardon case and Courts Martial case files with Lincoln endorsements, to slave trade records, enlistment and final statement papers, etc., these primary sources are now available and more going online daily for use by teachers and students.

Subscriptions are required to view the actual documents.

So take a look at the website. We are delighted with the project, and look forward to hearing any comments and suggestions you might have.

Dear Patty, thanks so much for your comments. Indeed, we are going to focus our advertising in review periodicals, because we know that these resources are heavily used by librarians in purchasing decisions. As it happens, we were at TLA this past year, working out of the Salem Press booth. (Giving away posters, needless to say!) I agree with you: it was a fantastic way to meet librarians in person and to connect with them. A big part of our outreach effort is centered on building our name in our local/regional communities. We’ve only just begun.

I’m having trouble getting our librarians to even try Twitter. They don’t have time for one more thing…so you aren’t going to reach any of ours via Twitter. You mentioned advertizing in industry periodicals. I would suggest that Review periodicals would be a good one to advertize in. Also, attend Texas Library Assoc. conference (one of the largest in the country). School librarians don’t have a lot of time to talk to individual vendors through the year (in person or via phone). But many will take advantage of having all the vendors in one place at one time and will spend a good portion of their conference time in the vendor hall. It gives them the opportunity to examine the materials - much better than only seeing it in the catalog.
