Presidential Timeline Summer Teacher Institute Cinthia Salinas Ken Tothero Ryan Crowley The University of Texas at Austin
Workshop goals • Content knowledge--learn more about topic • Pedagogical knowledge--learn more about what to do with topic via historical thinking (the use of primary sources and scaffolding document based questions) • Technology as an integrated pedagogical tool-- learn how to teach historical thinking through and with technology applications • Take the content and pedagogy and create materials for my classroom --
Materials for historical thinking • Presidential Timeline as a way to access organized & digitized primary source archives --& engage in learning activiites • Prezi as organizer of historical reasoning (e.g. chronology, priority, categories, and response to ‘big’ question) • Voicethread as interactive exchanges of historical reasoning (e.g. asking our students and each other-why is this important) • Fakebook Walls and BigHugeLabs as revealing the multiple perspectives (e.g. What would the historical figures of the time think) • Weebly website creation tool as Performance task for historical thinking (e.g. a collection of primary sources and document based questions via a web based site that attends to a historical question)
What do we teach and why • What choices do you make in teaching about the Vietnam War? • What must we teach? • What guides your choices? • Could each table select ONE notion (you can use YouTube) or name of person…that we can add to our canvas of possibilities • Link to Prezi so that each TABLE can add notion(s)
What is it that we typically teach and how and why • A technology integration note--Use Prezi in whole class discussion to note what we value and why we value these elements in our teaching. • Prezi is a different presentation format (but similar to power point) that allows for the easier manipulation of ideas. • You can organize these ideas via consensus, chronology, priority, category... Your students can make these decisions from themselves too.
