    A very good example (I think) of how lms's (learning management systems - don't worry, I had to google it) such as Moodle or BlackBoard can be used with your history classes. Essentially every history teacher can take on the role of textbook writer, thus returning the teacher to the position of expert. And that's got to be a good thing! Well done Mrs Daniels. You're a trailblazer.

    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! [(^).(^)]

    My students like Dan. He has a dramatic and engaging way of going over historical topics and I've found him generally quite accurate. The podcasts cover a variety of topics; I subscribe to them through iTunes for free (^).(^) and then post them on moodle for the kids to download for their research. Does anyone know any other good podcasts?

    I'd already saved this but Dan has just released the fourth show in his excellent 'Ghosts of the Ostfront' series so I thought I'd bookmark it again. If you're teaching World War II or the Indian Wars I strongly recommend you take a listen to Dan's podcasts. I put them up on our Moodle site so the students can use them for research; I usually download podcasts through iTunes. Some students enjoy them so much they listen to them on their own afterwards.

    I've got a new boss these days and she's getting us to use graphic organisers and reading strategies and such things. I was sceptical at first, but now I'm a convert. Do many people use graphic organisers in class?

    How do you use them mate? I found some excellent charts here http://moodle.egrps.org/course/enrol.php?id=136. Password is 'monty'.

    I use them for thinking maps, to show how concepts and ideas are related, as flow charts when necessary, as a way to show comparisons and contrasts and as a way to show umbrella terms and then related terms.
  • David Hilton on 09 Aug 10
     
    I'm definitely a convert. I now spend the first half of each lesson going through the content and the second half skills-building using graphic organisers, summarising, etc.

    I have created a very successful lesson/activity around this painting. The details are as follows. This window has this year's assignment. The next reply has the previous years. Advice: WHAP Review Activity: The Twittering Masses Review activity (mostly 1914- and East Asia) Description - I previously set up 103 discussions on turnitin.com for this lesson so they post into that person's discussion board and all replies are kept under the initial post. This year they posted on our classes Ning.com in the discussion forum. Grading is also difficult - Since not every one will have the same amount of replies - people are more likely to write to Hitler than Cui Jian for instance. So, I am grading the posts holistically out of 10 (I often only have 100-200 points in a quarter, so for instance a test might only be worth 40 points). I have students use a heading that states who [character] is tweeting what topic they are focusing on and who they are writing to. I would be interested in feedback or improvements people think they can make on this lesson - should I use Moodle, [Again, I have switched to Ning.com] etc.? Many thanks. And you can add or subtract people as you wish, so we have actually added Marcus Garvey, Jomo Kenyatta, Stephen Biko, and Emiliano Zapata to our role play and taken the painters (of this painting) out of the role play - Write up for students: Go to http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1162771/The-Internet-sensation-dinner-party-painting-103-historical-guests--spot.html#comments to see who all these individuals are, in color. The rules: You will imagine that each of the historical actors above has access to twitter, the expanded edition, 140 words as compared to 140 characters, to communicate to the other guests present. You will choose six of them (from my list below - my list is the final list - some people pictured have been replaced) to role-play in the "Twittering Masses." As your historical

    See previous post for advice. This is how I set it up the first two years without specific WHAP content or themes: The rules: You will imagine that each of the historical actors above has access to twitter, the expanded edition, to communicate to the other guests present. You will choose up to four (at least three) of them to role play in the "Twittering Masses" role play. As your historical person, during the Twittering Masses role play you will write, "tweet," at least four other persons. Two of the people should be in close proximity to you based on the painting above. Another tweet should go to the person you feel closest to (not by proximity) at the party - this could be based on ideology (MLK Jr. and Gandhi), background (Tagore and Gandhi), lifestyle (Gandhi and Mother Theresa), etc. Explain in your tweet why you are writing them. The other tweet should go to the person you see as most opposed, or farthest from you - Gandhi and Hitler or Gandhi and Gates or Gandhi and Churchill - in this tweet you should either try to bridge the gap between your differences or explain why the person is wrong in their beliefs. If you have only three guests - you will need to make 5 initial tweets. You will respond to each initial tweet. Then who knows . . . All tweets should have some connection to WHAP content or themes. You may want to comment on the surroundings or other guests . . .

    Good example of using an LMS (Learning Management System [cool jargon to know!]) for a class. My school uses Moodle and BlackBoard is popular at Australian universities. I organise mine by lesson and direct the students to go through the materials before the lesson, usually podcasts, PowerPoints, links to a source site, etc, depending on what materials I'm using for the lesson. After the lesson I put the podcast of it up there for the students to use for revision, along with the notes they've taken during that lesson. Much more effective than a textbook, I reckon!

    Excellent resources, graphic organisers, matrices, etc for history teachers no matter what system you teach in. The Change Analysis Charts and SPRITE have transformed my teaching.

    Are you a Dan fan too, Sue? Sorry to keep harping on this everyone, but I've found iTunes an excellent central place to get podcasts from. On the most recent version iTunesU is even better; there are thousands of university lectures and seminars there freely available. I put them up on moodle for the kids to use for research, homework, etc or the students just get them straight from iTunes. Definitely worth a look.
