    Technology Mapping With today's technology it has become easy to integrate the concepts of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) as part of learning activities. Integrating GIS technologies to add exciting and interactive spatial elements into a variety of activities. Using tools such as Google Maps, librarians, teachers, and students can easily create interactive digital maps that relate spatially to books, stories, and other readings. Students can use Web 2.0 tools, such as EditGrid, to collaborate online in the development of interactive maps, which then can be used to reduce the transactional distance that distance learning students may feel when taking courses online.

  • So what's a history teacher to do? Romanowski urges teachers to support students in critiquing their textbooks and exploring perspectives beyond that of the texts. Teachers can ask their students, for example, to answer this question: "Whose viewpoint is presented, whose omitted, and whose interests are served?" Teachers can have them explore reactions of various Americans to a historical event, such as the attacks of 9/11, including that of the U.S. president, a member of Congress, a relative of a victim, and an Arab-American. Lastly, Romanowski recommends, teachers can use writing assignments to develop students' critical thinking.

    What do our textbooks omit? A sort of homage to James Loewen's "Lies My Teacher Told Me."
