Tech Thursday: Transform Your Students into Historians with DocsTeach.org
Primary Content
Instead of passively receiving information, teach your students to analyze historical documents and become an investigator and synthesizer of information found in historical images.
The National Archives docsteach.org/tools offers seven free tools that educators can use to create interactive learning activities based on any primary source in the National Archives.
The Seven Tools Are:
- Finding a Sequence
- Focusing on Details
- Making Connections
- Mapping History
- Seeing the Big Picture
- Weighing the Evidence
- Interpreting Data
You can view activities that teachers have created and shared, or create your own activity. The site also has a blog and Facebook page to follow.
