Maine Memory Network

           Maine Memory network is a good tool that should be used in the classroom. It is especially great for history and social studies teachers to use in their classroom. It helps to see historical timelines for many different areas around Maine. This would help students get to know their town’s rich history as well as learning Maine’s rich history. Though this is ideal for social studies teachers, other teachers could use this also. Such as math teacher could use it for accurate measures in one of their word problems about Maine buildings. Science could use it to help people see the genetic make up of someone based off their ancestors that can be presented to them on this cite. It is a great tool to use in many different classroom settings. I plan to teach English, and I can certainly see myself using this one day in my classroom. Showing my students some of the pictures could inspire them for free writing activities during a writing unit. It could also be beneficial to give them a paper on Maine history where they would have to pick a topic and use this cite to help them. They would then need to write a paper for my class. If we are looking at writers from a certain time frame or a book of literature from a time frame, my students could use this cite to help them see what things looked like in Maine during that time. Maine Memory Network would be a great tool to use in my class, and these are some ways I could incorporate it into my class.
