The Sea of Liberty site can be a support for educators of many age groups. Largely drawn from the Monticello exhibit, The Boisterous Sea of Liberty, the site "traces the development and ongoing influence of Thomas Jefferson's transformational ideas about liberty, particularly those expressed in the Declaration of Independence." To access the widest breadth of resources, educators will likely want to create a free account. From there, they may scout the site's four sections: Explore, Create, Showcase, and Teach. Explore allows readers to browse the collection of objects, paintings, books, quotes, and other primary sources from Jefferson's world. Create lets teachers and students build a digital project out of the resources available on the site. Showcase features the projects that others have created. Finally, Teach features resources for teachers of social studies, language arts, world history, government, and other subjects.
