Teach American Indian Studies with WisconsinFirstNations.org

Dear educators,


This month we are filled to the brim with exciting updates for you and your students. We are elated to release the brand-new website, Wisconsin First Nations. This beautiful and intuitive website provides accurate and authentic American Indian Studies resources for your classroom or library.

We have also been out and about around Wisconsin this month visiting schools to mentor students and educators in their Student Reporting Labs and attending Edcamp Green Bay! Up next, we will be at the School Leaders Advancing Technology Conference (SLATE) Dec. 4-6 in Wisconsin Dells. If you're there too, be sure to stop by our booth and session.

Until next month,

Becky Marburger
Education Specialist, WPT Education
