Kennan Institute (covering Russia and surrounding states) : Media : - 4 views

  •  
    The Kennan Institute and National Public Radio in the USA has established an online audio archive of Soviet and Russian history. "The archive consists of recordings dating back to the earliest years of the Soviet state. Included are the voices and speeches of key political figures, including Lenin, Kerensky, Kirov, Beria, Stalin, Gorbachev, and others. Among the recorded interviews are Anna Larina (Bukharin's widow); Valentin Berezhkov, Stalin's wartime interpreter; Yelena Bonner, Sakharov's widow; and Lev Pevsner, a survivor of the Leningrad Blockade. There is also on-the-scene recorded sound of many events in Soviet history, including: the Russian and American armies meeting at the Elbe; Stalin's funeral; the August 1991 coup against Gorbachev. [...] The material comes from Soviet and Russian sources, the NPR archives, the archives of the BBC, and individual donors. Some of the material is in Russian, some in English. "

    The bulk of the audio files are in Russian, however if you scroll down closely there are speeches by significant Western figures too. Yet another excellent set of resources from the Woodrow Wilson Center.

Hijacking History | The Texas Tribune - 12 views

    Great article. I find myself everyday in the classroom wondering if my choice of content, my presentation of it, my choices of words, etc. leans to the left or the right. It's impossible to provide unbiased commentary, but I sure do try. Nothing is worse than a social studies teacher who insists on forcing their political views on students!
  •  
    I hear you! I come from a background on the left, and sometimes quite suddenly when I'm explaining something to the class I'll hear my own voice and realise how partisan what I'm saying sounds. I found an excellent diagram of left and right ( http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2009/left-vs-right/ ) which I put up on the door so that at least the students might become more aware of the political spectrum and how it influences people's beliefs. Perhaps the best we can do is show the students how their political assumptions play out in their opinions so that as self-aware citizens they can at least make conscious choices... The right doesn't have much sway in education in Australia; I think the district board system over there in some areas (if you don't mind me saying...) gets hijacked sometimes by extremists by the looks of it. I've read some fascinating articles on how textbooks are approved in parts of the States which was quite surprising (the Intelligent Design debate I guess is an example).

    That sounds fantastic. We're so lucky there are technologies like this available now that let teachers abroad share opportunities and resources with each other. Thanks for sharing Tom.

Fun with Ancient History - 0 views

  •  
    This is really cute! It's a series of puzzles of historical images, with jigsaw pieces that you move into place while a timer ticks. Might be fun with some junior classes - an engaging (there's the education buzzword!) tool for a rainy day. Also has a 'Dress Up A Historical Figure' section. Sounds interesting.

Vatican Secret Archives - 0 views

    The VATICAN SECRET ARCHIVES. Sounds cool, doesn't it? I'm not sure it is. You have to fill in all this information and get special acess but I couldn't find anything in there except some Masonic-looking logos. Very Da Vinci Code.

The Archive - 0 views

  •  
    A primary source archive based around the materials that were in a museum in New York that burnt down in the nineteenth century. That sounds really wrong but it's what I got from the site. Focussed on the nineteenth century.
