Historia - 2 views

    "Historia is living inside the history you are learning." -Julia E. Age 12 HISTORIA was created by Rick Brennan and Jason Darnell, social studies teachers who wanted to get their 6th graders excited about history by creating a learning experience that was student driven, challenging and fun. Rick and Jason taught with HISTORIA in their classrooms for over six years, refining the design of the game each year. Other local teachers began to seek their assistance to implement HISTORIA in their own classes. When the project achieved national exposure by being featured by the Atlantic, Fast Company and the Institute of Play, Rick and Jason decided the time was right to seek a publisher to help develop a technology-based version of the product. Now together with their publishing partners, E-Line Media and Upper One Games, Rick and Jason hope to challenge students all over the country and the world to learn history by leading it. HISTORIA will be available for interactive whiteboard, tablets and Mac/PC in 2014. Here's how HISTORIA works: The goal of HISTORIA is to grow a civilization and keep it strong over time. Students work in teams to lead fictional civilizations that compete along side (and sometimes against) the great empires of the past. Highly competitive and compelling rigorous, HISTORIA is for teachers who want to give their students a deeply meaningful and engaging learning experience that they will remember forever. In each unit, or Epoch, students face a Dilemma about which their decisions will impact the future of their people. Students research history - using their textbook, trusted online sites and other resources - to understand how their decisions will impact the economic, military and cultural strength of their civilization. Students are also challenged to assess the potential impact of key Events in each Epoch that might occur and affect the progress of their civilization.

U.S. History: Free streaming history videos & activities - 1 views

    There are as many ways to have fun with American History as there are ways to learn it. History and how we view it is ever-changing. History Videos/Movies/Documentaries Far SpeakingThe history videos on HFwH are no exception. Any form of recorded history reflects the time it was written or filmed as much as it does the time period it attempts to capture. But that's OK, because we get more bang for our history buck - we can learn about both time periods. So if you play the video Far Speaking, you see a goofy, yet informative presentation on the life of the telephone & long distance from a 1935 perspective. All videos are free to watch. Selections range from the 1895 Edison experimental talking movie to educational films from the 1950s. Other entries include classic, history-themed television dramas, modern well-made documentaries and even hollywood movies like Meet John Doe from director Frank Capra. The latter is an example of a film which is not based on a historical subject, but rather is history itself. It reflects, in a very tangible way, the era of the Great Depression. History Activities Civil War MoviesOnline activities & games give us another way to connect with historical subjects. We've collected links to a number of well-crafted, history-based games to engage minds of all ages in addition to those being created by HaveFunWithHistory.com.
