This year we have revitalized the entire 6th grade curriculum by going fully digital. All of our text, resources, materials, and projects are technology based. Through this curriculum our students are highly engaged with virtual field trips around the world, such as tours inside the Great Pyramids of Giza and inside the Lascaux Cave in France to explore ancient cave art. As an educator, I identify the importance of our students being capable and ready to utilize technology in its various facets, which is why I have tasked myself to reinventing a digital curriculum. Through this initiative our 11 and 12-year-old students are publishing their own websites, documenting their journey and learning throughout the course of the year, producing info-graphics, generating digital representations and models of the material they are learning in class. The skills and knowledge of both history and technology our students are learning will carry them for many successful years to come. However, such an innovative curriculum can prove challenging when providing the appropriate materials to facilitate such an experience. I hope to incorporate more videos, virtual field trips, STEM based projects, and student created green screen videos; however, in order to do this, my students need access to headphones in the classroom. I am writing in request of a classroom set of headphones, which would allow me to continue to engage my students in the outstanding digital resources that make history come alive. I truly believe history is all around us; we just fail to identify and acknowledge its presence. A more enticing, immersive, and engaging history curriculum will help students identify the impact history has on the world around them.
