Applying Research

Teaching American History involved a responsibility to help students understand valuable research. After you show students the value of effective research then it is time to apply that research. This has proven to be the most difficult part. Technology makes it easier each day to find the information that we want. The hard part for students will continue to be the application. They must take the facts and put together historical arguments. Since history is one large argument about the past it will be important for students to learn this skill. There are also many careers that deal with reading facts and putting together a plan or an argument. The next technology step that I will look for here is a way to share this type of information. I want to find a resource online that assists students in putting together historical arguments. Anyone out there know of one please share.
