Students find history much more interesting when technology is possible. I aspire for students to see the people and hear their voices while allowing students to see the locations that changed the course of history. I look to find Internet videos discussing the events or speeches made by the people who changed history. Technology allows historical figures to become real! Students will not find history interesting if you give them a text book to show a portrait of someone while you list or read their accomplishments. I challenge teachers to find videos that make students time travel to the historical event. Let the students see what their ancestors saw then discuss it. The reactions of students will create powerful discussions.
Teachers living in North Carolina can have a field trip to Greensboro, North Carolina to visit the International Civil Rights Center and Museum
