Making History Personal:
Using Primary Source Materials and
Digital Learning Stories in your Classroom
An exciting new array of digital primary source materials allows your students a more intimate glimpse into history. Accessing these artifacts encourages students to develop a more personal connection to the issues, actions, and people that define our past. I will provide an extensive set of links to these materials and will demonstrate a technique to bring history alive by interviewing historical figures. Examples will be provided from the work of a range of elementary students.
