Reflection+for+A+Broken+World

NETS 1a., 4a.

I looked at and reviewed the wiki "A Broken World." This wiki takes one through World War I, the issues that put us back into World War II and what happened as the Cold War followed. Instead of using their textbooks, the students were asked to create a digital textbook online, using this wiki. Not only did they compile the information, but included picutres and videos that were pertinent to their selected topic. They broke issues down into chapters and subchapters. This looks like it would be a great deal of work, but also may challenge the students to really investigate history instead of just trying to absorb what is in front of them in their textbooks. While the textbook may only provide a small amount of the information, the students would be able to add more, or things that they felt would be more important. This is something that I would like to implement, but I think that I would start off on a small scale before moving to such a large project.
