My Students

We are creating new elective course at our school for high school juniors and seniors on the holocaust. We want to give our students the opportunity to be historians and create a student published online textbook on the holocaust.

My students are diverse.

The classes for this project are made up primary students who have been in intensive reading classes and have passed the state test in reading. Many of these students are from low income homes and have learning disabilities, low motivation or low self-esteem. Technology has not played a large part in the education. The school they attend is undergoing great changes and includes a vibrant performing arts and digital design program, as well as a law academy. Students that do not succeed in the state tests often cannot or chose to not take advantage of such programs. This elective class will make excellent use of cutting edge technology and innovative approach in teaching history.

My Project

Using a high quality digital camera will allow students to take quality photographs to be used in the production of an online textbook on the holocaust. Students will create photo stories, video stories and written text to create a multimedia textbook. This project will empower our students to create a meaningful project to be shared with other classes and schools. The project supports writing, reading, primary sources and integrated technology. The topic of the holocaust is also an important aspect of the this project. Our students, especially those who have struggled with their education, need to understand the significance of historical events and to develop empathy for human suffering. They also will learn through this project how to use writing and reading skills to create a real world project which is a proven method of effective teaching.

It is imperative that schools, especially high schools give students more opportunities to work on project-based learning and real world application.

This project will motivate students to learn about an important topic while using cutting edge technology and a public platform to communicate their their learning outside of the classroom. It is my intention to use this project as a model for other history classes to embark on the creation of their own digital textbooks.
