  4. Connections to Standards in Historical Thinkinghttp://nchs.ucla.edu/standards/thinking5-12.html 2. Historical Comprehension I. Draw upon the visual, literary, and musical sources including: (a) photographs, paintings, cartoons, and architectural drawings; and novels, poetry, and plays to clarify, illustrate, or elaborate upon information presented in the historical narrative.

  5. Introducing Jing www.techsmith.com/jing/ A screen casting software that allows users to annotate and narrate images, websites, or other elements on a computer screen. Acts like a camera and video recorder built in to your computer that “captures or catches” what you see on your screen.

  6. Using Jing in the U.S. History Classroom • Create tutorials, training or how-to videos • Introduce new websites, highlighting key features and content • Have students record their presentations • Show thought process involved in image or document analysis • Conduct a website evaluation • Explain how to use an online database • Record a narrated historical journey using Google Maps or Earth

  7. Using Jing in the U.S. History Classroom • Use as a digital storytelling tool to narrate a series of images • Model a “think aloud” for document analysis • Demonstrate how to edit writing • Add voice to class pictures • Explain visuals • Comment on student work

  8. Introducing Prezihttp://prezi.com/ PREZI allows you to create dynamic presentations, where you can zoom in and out across a large poster, create motion paths, add text, embed images and video files or YouTube videos

  9. Using Prezi in the U.S. History Classroom • Zoom in to details on a picture • Create a mind map • Teach vocabulary: provide the word, then zoom to the definition, then zoom to related images • Plan and work collaboratively • Upload a PDF and zoom in on certain sections for discussion

  10. Using Prezi in the U.S. History Classroom • Show a date, idea, place or person in history and then zoom into the facts and details • Make a character map or biographical timeline • Zoom into details on a map • Tell a story using pictures or videos

  11. IntroducingGlogsterhttp://edu.glogster.com/ A “glog” is an online poster web page. Users can combine text, pictures, graphics, video, and audio to create an interactive online poster. Glogster provides a multi-media platform to display student learning and knowledge.

  12. Using Glogster in the U.S. History Classroom • Produce an online poster using text, images, audio, and video • Present biographies or summaries of historic events • Define and explain ideas and vocabulary • Work to answer an essential question • Use as part of a Webquest: link to website resources • Create engaging assignment sheets
