Teacher Edition

"Opening the Door West" is an indispensable aid to teaching the history of Ohio and the Northwest Territory. An expanded DVD version with bonus materials is now available along with a comprehensive Teacher's Guide on CD-ROM with more bonus materials.  This Multimedia Kit makes it extremely easy for teachers to integrate the two hour historical documentary into many different subject areas.

   

Shelburne films is proud to have worked with the experienced educational professionals at "eTSEO" (Educational Technology Services for Southeast Ohio) for over a year to develop this excellent Teacher's Guide, because we are convinced this will be an important resource in teaching Ohio history for decades to come.
