Now Introducing: A Better Way to Teach History

We watch history unfold every day through notifications pinging our cell phones, emails landing in our inboxes, and news anchors sharing breaking news. We even document our personal histories every day by taking photos and sending emails and texts. Modern technologies can record, share, and disperse information nearly instantaneously. In the age of never being “offline”, our curious minds can learn new information with a few clicks on a keyboard. Some might consider it a privilege to have such easy accessibility to the past.
