    Pursuing E-Opportunities in the History Classroom Mark Tebeau Over the last decade, information technology has fundamentally altered the American social and cultural landscape, including the classrooms in which we teach American history. Not surprisingly, five of twelve "Textbooks and Teaching" field reports in a recent issue of the Journal of American History reported utilizing electronic opportunities (e-opportunities) when "teaching outside the box." The reports made connections between innovative teaching methods and electronic resources, but the question remains: Is incorporating electronic resources and technologically based teaching strategies so revolutionary that the result is an entirely new mode of history pedagogy? I believe that the promise of e-opportunities for innovations in teaching American history is directly tied to the exponential growth of materials made available on the Internet during the past several years. Most critically, the mushrooming availability of primary sources in digital format, when combined with our increasingly easy and fast access to them, represents an unprecedented opportunity to refocus our efforts as teachers. We canand shouldthink about how to bring our students more fully into the production of historical knowledge. I want to focus on the implications of this bounty for our work as teachers and to suggest how we can reorient our pedagogy to develop in our students an ability not just to read but also to do history.

  • Bibliography
    .01 Introduction Return to Index Most teachers recognize the critical need to establish a strong conceptual stage or foundation for students to build upon throughout the learning process. Those students that fail to acquire the requisite knowledge and conceptual foundation often struggle to understand new material, because they lack the cognitive framework or schemata necessary for deeper understanding and comprehension. The National Standards for History refer to this framework constructed in the minds of students as "mental scaffolding." The study of American history is greatly enhanced by careful and comprehensive construction of mental scaffolding. As such, the critical period for American history is the point at which we begin our survey history courses, the Pre-Columbian and colonial period. Perhaps the importance of the pre-Columbian era in American history is best summarized by some of the key architects of the National Standards for History The study of American history properly begins with the first peopling of this continent some 30,000 years ago, and then proceeds to the epic events of the late15th century when three worlds met: when Europeans, the inhabitants of North and South America, and the peoples of Africa entered upon a historic convergence that was to shape much of modern history in over half the world.

    Upon the recommendation of the Dalphin Report , most of the maps at McGill University have been brought together and incorporated into the McGill University Libraries Map Collection in 1980-81. The map collection now resides within the Hitschfeld Geographic Information Centre which was officially opened in 1997. The library maintains a comprehensive , well-balanced collection of general and highly specific maps and atlases for all areas of the world, as well as collections in the disciplines of cartography and geographic information science. The library has a growing collection of electronic resources such as GIS data sets, atlases and gazetteers on CD-ROM, as well as geospatial boundary and census files bought or downloaded from Statistics Canada's Data Liberation Initiative (DLI) site. The library has also attempted to evaluate, organize and provide access to authoritative Internet sites in the fields of cartography, GIS, remote sensing, geography, environmental studies and global change on its Virtual Collections section page.

    ** MAPS ** Introduction: A map is a visual representation of a place on a flat surface. Maps can help us understand our community's location in space and time In addition to teaching geographic understanding, maps can: illustrate change over time, personalize history by giving evidence of familiar landmarks in the setting of the past, and by demonstrating the attitudes of people and their beliefs about the area they live in, as well as the political policies of past eras. Exploring and creating maps can hone students' abilities to analyze, think and learn. Maps have traditionally been limited to paper media, which could be difficult to obtain for local areas. Digital solutions provide a range of new choices for searching, manipulating, viewing and analyzing maps, although paper maps can still be used very effectively in the classroom when available. General Teaching Tips: In general, try to select maps which are not too complicated, or ‘noisy’ for students to comfortably explore. Experiment with map websites and CD-ROMs before students use them to be sure you are familiar with navigating, zooming in and out, saving and printing maps. Some map sites require special browser plugins, for instance the "MrSid" plugin for Library of Congress maps, to make best use of their maps.

    Historical geography of the region of the former duchy of Brabant The introduction of barbed wire in the landscape of North-Brabant at the same moment of the disappearence of the demand for oak-bark (the leather-industry switched over to tanning with chrome) resulted in a much more open landscape. But also in the USA barbed wire had a deeply felt effect. More about this... Old Maps of Brabant, the duchy and some parts of it. In September 2000 the province of North-Brabant published on CDrom the Map of Cultural-Historical Values (CHW) email , but you can also see a partial presentation on the Net. Everything is in Dutch. An update is in the making but not yet ready. The Identity Factory Southeast (IDentiteitsfabriek Zuid-Oost: IDZO ) creates a cultural infrastructure in the Kempenland, the region in the southeast of the province North-Brabant in the Netherlands, making optimal use of objects present inside (and outside!) museums and of events on many stages, of values of the landscape and natural history peculiarities and of recreational and tourist facilities spread all over the area. Maps and pictures about North-Brabant can be found at the Topographical-Historical Atlas in Tilburg. Go to the

    Teaching Experience
    As a teaching assistant at UCSB's Geography Department, I have helped teach courses in physical and human geography, in addition to several technical courses in remote sensing and GIS. In Spring 2005, I designed and taught the third course in the UCSB Geography Department's upper-division GIS series: Geography 176C: GIS Design and Application. The goal of the course was to connect theories of geographic modeling with real-world GIS applications on nearby Santa Cruz Island. Here is the syllabus . In the first portion of the course, the students worked in small groups to develop new geographic data sets for geology, vegetation, and land use for Santa Cruz Island. The students learned to geo-register hardcopy maps, design a data model, populate the data model through digitizing, and document these transformations with metadata. In the latter half of the course, the students shared these datasets to explore different geographic problems. Here is a list of the projects the students could choose. On the last weekend of the quarter, I took interested students on a three day field trip of the island, and the students were finally able to see the real grounds of pixels and vectors.
