How do we teach with TECHNOLOGY?

Engaging Students with Primary Sources

4/24/2013

 
"I vividly remember being disappointed during my first year of teaching: my students weren’t nearly as excited about primary source documents as I was. Primary source documents, as you know, offer readers a unique, real-world perspective, and I thought my kids would love delving into them. I soon learned that my disappointing results weren’t due to the documents that I’d selected, but rather how I was having students use them. That first year, they weren’t doing anything but reading them. Today, Web-based tools enable students to discover more primary sources than ever before and engage them in dynamic ways." ~ Richard Bryne
Check out this article published in Digital Shift about cool online tools to help students engage in primary source material.  I would love to work with some of you to create a primary source lesson or two for next year.
