Thank you for reminding your readers about the Google/Life photo archive. One of my duties as a library media specialist is to teach the responsible use of media. Students may think that free means free not to cite. What a wonderful place to start or remind our students of “the pedagogies of a digital world.” As a transition to the topic of digital literacy and appropriate citation guidelines, I want to use the image from Alfred Eisenstaeat for a writing prompt titled “What emotions do I see.” After collecting the assignment, discuss the photographer, the background of the photo and the story of Google offering the photographs of Life magazine archives. Thank you for reminding me that part of my responsibility as an educator is to provoke and inspire learning, which requires access to a digitally rich learning environment.

This is a fabulous web site. What a great resource for primary documents for our students. And as they say…..a picture is worth a thousand words.I have passed this website on to all of our teachers and bookmarked it for use. I could spend hours looking through the pictures re-living events during my life all over again.
