Activity: Have students go through the resources, and have them read the description of the resource in the metadata if there is one, as well as any text or image hot spots. Also have them answer any questions that might go with a resource. Fun challenge for students: what artifact, website, video, or event should be in the collection that is not? Copy the collection, add another resource with an explanation of its relevance, and then republish the collection.
