    Really enjoyed the session today. I had heard once that baloons were used in the Civil War but never knew how much and how. I was telling some of my 8th grade students about it later in the day and many commented they had never heard of baloons in the Civil War.

    I do plan on using many of the images and information when I teach my Civil War unit later in the year. The next time I am in Washington DC on the mall I will also imagine that baloon on the mall. I loved the picture in the session of “then/now” using image of Mr. Crouch on the Mall.

    Thanks for briging this conference to my classroom. Great two days of learning and appreciate the fact it is archived for future use.
