Maine Memory Network

       I have never seen the Main Memory Network, so when I first discovered the website, it felt like I was hitting the jackpot. I thought it was so interesting how when I searched my hometown, different historical pictures, taxes, and documents came up. The historical time periods in Portland really came alive to me through those documents. I really enjoyed this website, and am so glad I found it because it will be a resource for me in the classroom that I will probably continuously use throughout my teaching career. Yay for new resources!
       As a social studies concentration, I could use this website in a number of ways. First, connecting this to my unit in Dr. Graces class about the American Revolution, I could have my students look at primary documents from the colonial time period. My students will be able to get a better sense of what that time period means through actual pictures and real life stories verses something they read about in a text book.
