Mass Moments: Isaiah Thomas Born - 0 views
-
Moultrie Creek on 19 Jan 08The Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities launched the Mass Moments project-an electronic almanac of Massachusetts history-on January 1, 2005. Throughout 2005, radio listeners, cable TV viewers, and Internet users enjoyed listening to or reading about events and people in the recorded history of Massachusetts. In 2006, we are using the same 365 stories while we enhance the website for teachers. Visitors to the Mass Moments website [www.massmoments.org] can choose to listen to a one-minute audio spot or read the script, and then explore the story further by reading a background essay and clicking on a primary source document, links to follow, and places to visit. You can also use the timeline to see when a given "moment" occurred and a map to see where it happened. Visitors post comments or questions on the Discussion Board and have the option of being notified when someone responds. You can sign up for a free subscription to eMoments.
