Re: [LM_NET] Hit: Cataloging Picturing America Prints

[Lisa Hunt <lisa3moon@YAHOO.COM>]

I'm not getting much action so far, but my teachers are overwhelmed.  I'm using the 
prints in some library lessons as well as displaying them around the school.  These 
activities meet the requirements of the grant and I figure over time a few more 
teachers will pick up on the ideas I'm sharing because mini lessons using this art 
are outstanding!!

Are your teachers using the prints??? I can't seem to generate any
interest. Any suggestions?
