This document summarizes a workshop on using cultural heritage resources for education from Europeana. It discusses how teachers currently find online resources, their skill levels in using digital resources, and feedback on Europeana's offerings. Teachers found collections, Pinterest, and search by filters most useful but struggled with searching, licensing, and broken records. The workshop aimed to discuss developing partnerships, bringing more content to educators, growing the user community, and improving Europeana's educational offerings like curated resources and datasets on topics identified by teachers. Attendees provided input on including specialized subjects like archaeology and making content accessible to secondary students.
