How to Use Postcards From America
Below is a brief description of the various components that make up the Postcards from America website and how you may use these elements in the classroom. THE WEEKLY POSTCARDS
We tour a state a week and send two " Live-at-the-Scene TM " postcards each week. The first postcard features a scenic view, the other a view of native wildlife, such as an animal, bird, fish, insect, or plant that is either unique to that state, or prevalent in that area. Classroom Activity: The scenic photograph and the accompanying photo caption on the postcard, as well as our hand-written personal message on the reverse side, can be used as a launching off point for further classroom discussions. For example, you may ask your class to locate the State-of-the-Week on a map and find clues as to why that area of the country would have that type of scenery and support that kind of wildlife.

Educational Studies Department Lez Smart BSc DipEd PGCE MA PhD FRSA Profile
Lez's research can be divided into 2 separate but linked areas.
  • Over the last 15 years Lez has undertaken research into the contribution the computer can make to the teaching and learning of history in the primary years.
    Through a series of small scale research projects, two books, a series of articles and papers delivered at international conferences he has developed and expanded on his early conclusion that ICT can both 'facilitate and enhance' the teaching and learning of history. At present he is investigating how the digitalisation of maps has revolutionised, not just access to, but also the way maps are able to be used in the teaching and learning of history with young learners (see below).
    He has just completed writing the educational web material for the British Library's major map exhibition of 2001-2002- The Lie of the Land.

    Teaching with the Web: Two Approaches
    By Patricia Seed
    I. The Web as Superbibliography
    By original professional affiliation I am a Latin Americanist, and while my research has increasingly taken me further and further abroad, I still retain substantial interest in teaching both the earliest and the most recent histories of the region south of the Rio Grande. For the past 14 years I have been teaching a course on U.S. relations with Latin America whose aim (beyond providing a basic acquaintanceship with the past) has been to increase undergraduates' awareness of the role of media in shaping perceptions of different countries in the Americas. My technique for so doing has been to spend half the semester on a minicourse in undergraduate research in which every student had to find original media sources and report on how they shaped perceptions of Latin America and the United States. Teaching at a small university, with few resources for acquiring expensive subscriptions to Latin American newspapers and magazines, I spent over a decade frustrated by the large gap between what I wanted students to see and what they were able to find. Only under exceptional circumstances did any of them have access to media from different nations. Several years ago one student, who came across about-to-be-discarded copies of from Buenos Aires, was able to provide vivid photographic evidence of different media representations of the U.S. invasion of Panama. The day after the invasion

    Reading Historic Maps and General Resources on Cartography How to Read Historic Maps
    A historic map is a map drawn or printed in the past that fosters study and comprehension of the geography or geographical ideas of the time and place in which it was produced. A historical map is a modern map made to illustrate some past geographical situation or event. Hence, a map of Boston published in 1775 is a historic map; while a map prepared in 2002 to show Boston in 1775 is a historical map. The curator's notes attached to each of the modules in this website are intended to help you decipher the maps you find here. We hope that they will give you insights you can both share with your students and apply to the reading of other maps you may encounter. If you or your students have not studied old maps before, you might want to use the attached map analysis form to help you get started. The first page of this form asks some basic questions about a map, such as its title, orientation, and scale. From there, it asks you to consider how the context in which the made was made affected the way it was drawn, what it shows, and what it leaves out. In order to make better use of maps in your classroom, you may also want to consult the General Resources on Cartography provided below. These explain the nuts and bolts of modern cartography from map projections, to graticules, to scales. And in some instances they also give you new ways to understand maps both old and new.

    A Guide for Developing
    Teaching with Historic Places Lesson Plans
    The Teaching with Historic Places program uses places as resources for studying local, state, and national historyevents, the impact of people on events, technological change, and political and social trends. Historic places can also be used to study geographyhow locale, terrain, and climate affect events and lives, and how people shape the environment for their purposes. All kinds of places can provide the focus for a lesson in history, geography, and many other subjects in the school curriculum. Courthouses, jails, train stations, bridges, lighthouses, plantation mansions, crude log cabins, battlefields, or the ruins of a 1,000 year-old Indian village are only a few of the possibilities from which to choose. The format used for Teaching with Historic Places lesson plans contains elements required by school districts across the nation and is designed for easy use by teacher and students. It organizes interesting and illuminative material that complements and enriches the study of American history. Each lesson plan begins with an Introduction written to interest educators in the place and to entice them into reading further. Lessons then progress through a sequence that shows teachers where the lesson fits into the curriculum, defines learning objectives, lists the contextual materials that will be used by the students, and offers information on visiting the site. Lessons go on to provide historical background information for students, introduce a variety of written and visual materials from which students can gather evidence and formulate conclusions, and suggest activities to guide students' learning. At least one of these activities lead students back to their own community where they can explore places related to the lesson topic. The last section of the lesson consists of a page of supplementary resources, allowing students and teachers to further explore themes presented in the lesson plan.
