The funding from the initial grant was used to organize and implement a two-day workshop for methods instructors, teachers, and technology coordinators in New Mexico. Seventeen educators and technology coordinators were trained by Peggy O'Neill-Jones on October 15-16, 2009. A second grant was awarded to supplement the first by providing a second TPS workshop in February, 2010. The scope was broadened to include more content area teachers and social studies methods instructors, and a greater level of coordination with the state-wide social studies network and other UNM faculty.  A total of 44 educators were trained on February 4-5, 2010 by Peggy O’Neill-Jones and Mary Johnson, LOC American Memory Fellow and TPS-Colorado Alumnus.
