What did we learn?
•Less is more—provide few, carefully selected  images
•Make it easy to find & use images
•Provide context for the images
•
•Primary source materials are of high value
•Tie content to California State Board of Education Content Standards
Surprise:  We thought more was better.  Discovered less was better. Curation: Distillation and informed selection are essential.  Teachers are overwhelmed with the amount of information available to them and would rather consult fewer web sites with reliable information that can be trusted
After strong resistance, there is general acceptance of standards now by teachers
Teachers want to locate a small handful of things that would be really good for teaching

Students always want photographs
Surprised how important this was:
Teachers want different views of the image—alone, with citation& contextual information
