Google is not the last word in information - 11 views

  •  
    As my son marvels at the battle diaries, postcards, letters and photographs, and scrupulously unfolds war maps depicting the strategic battlelines in the fields of Gallipoli and the Somme, he surrenders to the pleasure of discovering history by his own hands. The touch, the sight, the smell of these items, each tells a story of their own and he takes his time in absorbing it all. Then in true Gen Y form, he reaches for the digital camera and begins to photograph the maps, crests, war pay books, menus of Christmas dinners - detailed and digital proof that he has, at last found, what he was searching for.

Making Sense of Letters and Diaries - 10 views

  •  
    Looks like a useful guide by an experienced history teacher. Might be good for homework or a lesson activity? I'm focussing at the moment on training my students with 'historical thinking.' I find it much more useful a model than the 'critical thinking' models so common these days, and the results are promising. If anyone has any tips I'd be most appreciative...

President Nixon 's daily schedule, March 1972 - 0 views

  •  
    Sometimes the most prosaic historical evidence can be the most informative. Teachers can have students skim through these diaries to get a sense of what a president's day looked like in the early 1970s. Many of the names may surface in a Watergate lesson, do any of the events listed correspond to other events teachers talk about?

DoHistory Home - 4 views

  •  
    Looks like it might be useful in a computer room, having the students work through the site for all or part of a lesson. It takes them through the research process as they try to reconstruct the historical circumstances of Martha Ballard through primary documents. Quite cool.
