Reading Primary Source Documents - 1 views

    Has some good questions for students to ask themselves when evaluating primary sources. Such a difficult skill to train students to do - it seems to me though that historical knowledge is vital for students to be able to analyse and evaluate sources effectively.

    It's not a historical source but might be useful when teaching source evaluation to students. Or Sisyphusicly trying to, as is often the case for me.

History Education in a World of Information Surplus | Democratizing Knowledge - 14 views

  • ut the problem of doing history this way in an age of information-surplus is that students spend much of their time as passive audience members, ingesting information, rather than grappling with it to find their own voices. Let’s be clear – it is inconceivable that students won’t have access to lecture information in the future: Wikipedia has every fact that I’ll cover in my AP U.S. History course this year, and if students want to hear an expert lecture they can always find one on iTunes University from Berkeley or MIT. So instead of coverage-style lecturing we need to use the very valuable classroom time to engage in deep inquiry about historical and current problems. Teachers should create powerful essential questions that require students to master information literacy skills they’ll need in a digital age, and to master historical inquiry. From these questions, students will behave as historians, researching, analyzing, evaluating, and creating DAILY. Isn’t that more valuable critical thinking than the odd essay question every few weeks between lectures? Liz Becker and Laufenberg and correct. The 20th century history classroom has to change. In a world of information surplus, we must recognize that good history education must transform students into power information critics, able to evaluate claims and build their own truths from myriad facts.
