This Journal is about using media to learn about History, or Art. This program allows students to read and look at documents that they might never get to see ever. The Smithsonian American Art Museum is leading the technology media wave that allows students to make movies with a program from PrimaryAccess MovieMaker. This allows students to take primary sources from the library and their own work and make a movie. This is a good way for students to learn about history, and not the old fashion way of reading a book, but making their own movie in their own words. This is a great way of teaching the children about history.

Question 2. What is PrimaryAccess MovieMaker (www.primaryaccess.org) PrimaryAccess is a suite of free online tools that allows students and teachers to use primary source documents to complete meaningful and compelling learning activities with digital movies, storyboards, rebus stories and other online tools.
