Digital History

John Fea   |  September 13, 2008 1 Comment

My friend Phil, the Bald Blogger, has a nice post on “digital history.” He quotes from a recent Journal of American History essay by William Thomas and the work of historian Steven Mintz, one of the leaders in this field.

Phil mentions Mintz’s Digital History website–a wonderful resource for teachers. After spending some time exploring this site I immediately sent the link to a few of my former students who are teaching high school history. If you are a history or social studies teacher, this website is indispensable–a one stop shop for all your lesson plan needs. Check it out.

P.S. I have not heard from Phil in a few weeks, but he is in our thoughts and prayers as hurricane Ike bears down tonight on his hometown of Houston. Phil: when you get a chance, let us know how you are doing.

    Hey John, thanks for the thoughts and prayers. As I type I hear the wind howling outside. Surprisingly, no rain in my part of town yet (as it stands right now, I’m on the west side of where Ike is projected to move through SE Texas). Hoping and praying for the best here, although several costal communities have already been hit hard. Let’s also remember Luke Harlow and Gerardo Marti, two Religion in American History blog friends who are in Houston as well. Perhaps they can write with updates if they have Internet access and happen to read this post.Thanks again for the thoughts and prayers, John.
