  History Tech — Authority: 120
  Along the lines of John Quincy Adams Twitter feed, Historical Tweets and Lincoln’s Facebook page , comes a much less serious version of historical figures interacting with modern online tools.

• Assess students’ academic learning, not Web 2.0 technology

  
  Education with Technology Harry G. Tuttle — Authority: 107
  I thought that we have moved beyond focusing on the technology to focusing on student academic learning.  I thought that back in the 90s.  However, I find evidence even today that technology still has become the true focus rather than student academic learning.  Whenever I look at the rubrics for an Web 2.0 tool, I ...

  History Tech — Authority: 120
  My dad was an Oldsmobile man. He never bought any other brand. And if he ever had to ride in (or heaven forbid, actually drive) any thing other than an Olds, he’d grumble and complain.

  My classes use a wiki.  If the classes are sections of the same course, they share the same wiki. For example, my 8, 9 and 12:30 classes are all Writing and Research so I group them together on the wiki.  I  have been having students from each class take class notes and post them to the wiki.  As I read the notes ...

• Teaching history and best practices

  
  History Tech — Authority: 120
  Teaching has always seemed to be an individual activity, forcing teachers to figure things out on their own.
