EDUE-637 21st Century Literacy in Historical Research Methods

This course requires participants to use Internet "blogs" and other more traditional documents to teach secondary school students how to research a historical topic. Participants will create a unit on one topic from their history curriculum, including an annotated webliology of blogs (appropriate for middle and/or high school students) and links to well-accepted primary and secondary source documents as a way to increase student interest in factual verification of information. Emphasis is placed on teaching students to think critically and to discern patterns, themes, and/or connections between historical information sources when analyzing print and non-print media.
