Using the web effectively for research
Toulouse 17-19 February 2005
My seminar focused on a simple practical example of how we might encourage history teachers to use ICT in their lessons. If we start from the history, and not from the ICT, then we can show how we can actually do history, only better, using ICT.
I
started
from
my
local
war
memorial.
Many
teachers
do
use
their
local
war
memorial
to
look
at
names,
events
etc.
If
you
coup
e
this
with
a
visit
to
the
Commonwealth
War
Graves
Commission
website
–
www.cwgc.org.uk
you
can
find
out
about
each
soldier,
where
they
are
buried
or
commemorated,
and
a
little
about
the
campaign
they
were
killed
in.
