Join us for the free professional development webinar “WWI Resources for the Classroom: The Remembering WWI App and DocsTeach.org” on October 24, 2017, from 7-8 p.m. ET.
Connect with new resources for teaching WWI during this fun and informative webinar!
Remembering WWI is an app for iPads and Android tablets for exploring, collaborating, and engaging with our extensive collection of WWI photographs and moving images, along with contributions from other organizations and individuals.
App developer Historypin will introduce the app and demonstrate how teachers can navigate thousands of WWI photo and film primary sources from the holdings of the National Archives, and build their own narratives using the core collection-creation feature. Dive into analyzing thematic content within the app and explore how you can use this rich content in the classroom.
Participants are invited to follow along on the Remembering WWI app, but access to the app is not required to participate in the webinar.
We will also highlight additional classroom tools for engaging students with WWI resources through DocsTeach.org.
The absolute best WW1 material is found on The Great War channel on You Tube. I’ve watched each week since the war started a hundred years ago. People around the world are watching too. They are also providing details, photos, details on weaponry, uniforms, songs, art and so much more. If you haven’t been to the site, go now.
