    "The Bubble Project (BP) is a collaborative and interdisciplinary research initiative on the subject of the South Sea Bubble (SSB), the 1720 English episode in what might be called the first great international financial crisis (i.e., the SSB follows upon the collapse of Law's Mississippi scheme in France)." Will we ever learn from history?

    This article suggests using 'wordle' to create a 'word cloud' from a selected text. It works really well in historical sources (or modern articles) for bringing out key terms. It's also a really efficient way for students to 'scan' a text to see if it might be relevant when researching - particularly for those who read slowly, or for ESL students who are daunted by large blocks of text - and it looks very nice too!

    "The History Data Service collects, preserves, and promotes the use of digital resources, which result from or support historical research, learning and teaching." This says that it's open access, but on closer inspection you need an Athens login (only available if you're attached to an institution which pays for it). Would be great if you could get in, though, I'd imagine.

    VERY COOL video - one of my students actually shared it with me! I plan to use this with my AP Human Geography students! In my case I may use it as an opener to the class as to what types of things we will cover and the connectedness of everything. Also great for Industrialization, Globalization, etc!

    I would like to encourage you to view or research some critiques of this material. After I viewed your post, I did some research and it looks like there is good criticism out there of this video that it portrays a one sided argument. I don't believe the video is wholly inaccurate. However, the video does present information that is easily questionable due to inaccurate and impartial interpretations. Part of our duty as great teachers it to present all facts and allow young citizens to use their own questioning to make informed decisions.
  • HistoryGrl14 . on 17 Oct 11
     
    I don't disagree with you. You don't have to 'encourage me to research critiques'. Maybe I should have written more when I posted it, but I was in a rush and just bookmarked it typed quick comments. I actually had seen the critiques. However, the way in which it is made, and things included are great for use as discussion starters and prompts for fact finding. I didn't include my lesson plan or the way I personally plan to use it, as I felt that was not relevant. I think each person can decide on their own how to use it. I agree great teachers do have a job to teach studnets to critically question and analyze - something I do all the time with my students. It helps when there is compelling items like this video to garner their interest. One of the things my students look at during our time together is motivation, and bias. So when I show it, my students will also be looking at who funded the video, and follow that trail back to look at biases that the group/companies involved might have. Also, with the different portions, as you mention, it is one sided in areas, so again, part of my personal lesson plan with this is that as we reach various portions of class that correlate with the video, my studnets will be viewing that portion and doing their own addition of the other side of the story. And I use a strategy called "philosophical chairs" and portions of this video along iwth well constructed starter questions are great for utilization in that situation.

    I love these podcasted lectures. I usually get them down through iTunes U or iTunes podcasts (free!) and then put them up on moodle (similar to BlackBoard) for students to download and listen to/watch for their homework/research. Parents get really impressed too when their little angel is listening to a Berkeley Uni lecture on their iPod! [(^).(^)]

    This site includes copies of Secretary of the Treasury reports from the 1780s through the present. What was the budget of the United States in 1800s? How much did the "Traiff of Abominations" raise? How much did the Civil War cost? How much did the New Deal cost? - answers to all of these questions cane be found in these reports. Setting students into these for "real" research may find even more.

    Strategic studies have retained the thinking of Karl von Clausewitz at its core. The Prussian General's understanding of war by reference to the political process saw wars as the "continuation of politics by other means" (Clausewitz, 1997). In conflict research, this has become the most widely quoted definition of war. What made Clausewitz's work 'On War' so successful was that he wrote about war by focusing on its general aspects, or more simply, on the spirit of war as he saw it. In this way, war no longer drew on narrow and specific contexts, but rather became understood, as an enduring phenomenon, in general terms.

  • The students' documentary was part of National History Day, a program that more than 600,000 middle and high school students participate in each year.
  • They're going to archives, going to museums, doing real historical research. In the process of all this, they learn history, they learn about their nation's past. They learn important skills they can apply in their careers and in college.
  • We have empirical data that proves without a doubt that kids who participate in History Day outperform their peers who don't.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • In middle and high school, that's where the loss of instruction time comes.
  • has to be an engaged study of the past.
  • [National History Day] is not just for gifted and talented students; this is a program that does extremely well with kids in the lower quartile.
  • riginal research, you have an opportunity to form your own opinion on a topic. You're looking at original material. They do have to read secondary material so that they can have context. Have you talked to any teachers about how they're discussing the killing of Osama bin Laden with students? What should teachers be saying to their students? What's the importance of recent history in history class? I haven't had the chance to talk to any teachers since [last] Sunday. But I can tell you that what I hope they're doing is helping young people put this in perspective. I hope they're helping students understand the history of terror and understand why 9/11 happened in the first place. You have to understand the history of the Middle East and the history of the United States' role there, so you can draw some meaning and understanding. Using the word understanding doesn't mean condoning; it just means you need to understand why it may have happened. See how your school stacks up in our rankings of Best High Schools.

    Has articles and some source material links related to World History. The site (run out of University of Illinois, by the looks) has a strong focus on 'big history.' I hadn't encountered this term before; it seems to mean looking at history not through civilisations but rather periods or regions. If that description is wrong and someone could provide more accuracy on 'big history' that would be cool.

    The journal focuses on the New World History (looking at the world at a global scale across time) as opposed to the one civilization at a time approach. See the World History AP course description for an example of what this means: http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/ap/students/worldhistory/ap-cd-worldhist-0708.pdf David, as an Australian you are at Ground Zero of Big History since its leader is an Australian = David Christian. Christian's _Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History_ is the one book to read on the subject. This article well covers it: http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whc/3.1/christian.html Google David Christian, Big History for more

    Again, the journal is not specifically focused on Big History but on the New World History, but it did have one issue on Big History as its forum: http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.3/ More links than you probably want here about Big History: http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.3/maunu2.html This month's forum is on Latin America. Other forums range the gamut of world history.
