The Historical Scene Investigation Project (HSI) was designed for social studies teachers who need a strong pedagogical mechanism for bringing primary sources into their classroom. With the advent and accessibility of the internet, many libraries, universities and government agencies are housing their historical documents online. Simultaneously, there has been a push in K-12 history education to give students experiences that more closely resemble the work of a real historian.
"I've assembled my collection of FREE History PowerPoints for teachers to use in their classrooms. This collection includes PowerPoints that I've used in my AP US History, AP European History, and World History courses. Teachers are free to use these PowerPoints in part and may edit them, as well, as long as I receive credit for my work and that credit is also given to those who have graciously provided visual content for the slides."
