Jackson County Historical Society

Teacher’s Connections (20 June 2008)

Here are some very helpful (and some very fun) Web links for teachers/educators/historians. There are links to schools and education-related sites. For general research, there are sites specifically dedicated to various aspects of Jackson County’s rich, diverse history.

As we develop these pages, we hope to begin offering more tools to help teachers integrate history into their curriculum. Please let us know how we may work together!
