In the Classroom
Use this site as an anticipatory set or "activator" to introduce a unit or lesson on a projector or interactive whiteboard. Make a shortcut to this site on classroom computers and use it as a center. Use this site as the starting point for individual or group projects. This site is a perfect addition to use with President’s Day activities, when learning about the Olympics, or as part of a Black History Month lesson. Be sure to include this site on your class web page for students to access both in and outside of class. Enhance students’ learning by having them use Fakebook, <a href="/single.cfm?id=14197">reviewed here</a>, to create a "fake" page similar in style to Facebook about a president, a passenger on the Titanic, a famous scientist, or another person learned about on this site. Have students modify their learning by creating an interactive, multimedia infographic sharing their findings using Easel.ly, <a href="/single.cfm?id=13619">reviewed here</a>.
At Home
Use this resource together to review and reinforce concepts about any history topic. Suggest this site to help your son or daughter find research for a project. If your teen simply enjoys history, this is a great place to learn and explore.
