New Deal Website

I thought the photo-documentary was the most interesting thing. Old timey photography of the effects of the New Deal. Good stuff. I especially liked the one with the swimming pool built by the WPA. I also looked around in the Documents archive and found the WPA handbook. Apparently the WPA worked the same for women as it did for men. I also noticed that the website itself seemed more oriented at teachers than at students. As such, it wasn't very interactive. I enjoyed the World War One website way more. And I would greatly appreciate being notified early and often in class about these things due to my natural aversion to zeros. I didn't even see it on schoolnotes.com. Oh well, that's what I get.

I'm in the same boat with you about this blog, got blindsided by it, I did. I agree with your assessment about how some of the site was catered to teachers, and seeing how the World War I website had more technical info, I could see how you would like it more.
