Mr. T, an 8th grade American Cultures teacher at Hershey Middle School, is the author of the American Cultures 2.0 blog. While reviewing his blog recently, I noticed that he has developed two great uses of Web 2.0 technologies for teaching the Civil War.
The first one is called
What stories do these Civil War photographs tell? In this short blog post, Mr. T uses a quick
VoiceThread video to get students to look at a photograph and answer questions. There are even several student responses to this post. Very cool!
The second one is called
Civil War Day and shows a very nice
Animoto photo slide show. The photo slide show is a collection of Civil War era photographs from the Library of Congress and is set to some somber period music.
So, here are two more examples of how you (and your students) can create and share things you are doing in your classroom.
Create & Collaborate!!!
Until Next Time...
