It is my goal to click through the blogs I follow at least once a week. One of my favorite blogs to "check-in" on is the blog written by someone familiar to most of us, Mr. Darin King.
Again, Darin has shared a very interesting and engaging resource. Beyond the Bubble is developed by the Stanford
History Education Group (SHEG). SHEG
is an award-winning group that provides outreach to educators in California and
across the nation.
SHEG draws on
over twenty years of research-based experience working at the elementary,
middle, and high school levels to find the most effective ways to convey
knowledge and love of history to students and teachers of all ages.
Beyond the Bubble unlocks the vast digital
archive of the Library of Congress to create a new generation of history
assessments using Primary Sources.
SHEG created easy-to-use assessments that capture students’ knowledge in
action; rather than their recall of discrete facts. The program attempts to contribute to the quality of
education by helping teachers use the Library’s digitized primary sources to
engage students, develop their critical thinking skills and construct knowledge.
