Session Abstract
This roundtable discussion, moderated by Maria Marable-Bunch, Director of Education and Public Programs at the U.S. National Archives, explores the ways in which the Age of Text Search is posing new challenges and opportunities in history pedagogy. Primary Sources in the Classroom and Beyond: Digital Tools and Emerging Practices asks: What are the emerging best practices in K12 and undergraduate digital history pedagogy for the classroom and beyond? How can the producers of digital history resources assess and meet the needs of K12 and undergraduate history educators and students?
This session is part of a series of sessions, "Primary Sources and the Historical Profession in the Age of Text Search," organized by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) of the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration and the AHA staff.
The Digital Age, the Age of Text Search, the Digital Turn--whatever we choose to call it, there is no question that the emergence of digital history is reshaping how historians work, how they are trained, and how they teach. This multi-session series poses fundamental questions about the current state of and future directions for the training of historians and history teachers in the Digital Age, about the kinds of collaborations required for the substantive practice of digital history, and about the role of historians in advocating for and the multiple benefits of participating directly in projects that expand the digital historical infrastructure that will serve the needs of the profession and future historical research.
