Introductory Note:<br />
<br />
Welcome to one in <a href="http://thelearningprofessor.wikispaces.com/WEBSITE+SPOTLIGHT">a series of posts</a>
which spotlight quality websites that I use with my U.S. History survey
course students at Azusa Pacific University to enrich the regular
material in our learning modules.<br />
<br />
In this post, I limit
myself to those specific aspects of the website which I find fit
particularly well within our face-to-face class sessions (each student
is required to bring a laptop to class) or as the basis for the
students' regularly-assigned written reactions.<br />
<br />
++++++++++<br />
<br />
Material on this website was initially designed to help students prepare for 2002 National History Day. <br />
<br />
I ask the students to work through the following links:<br />
<br />
I. Excellent "Help" page<br />
<a href="http://www.americanjourneys.org/help.asp">http://www.americanjourneys.org/help.asp</a><br />
<br />
II. Let's take an example of how to work with any given document:<br />
<br />
1. Go to the "Find a Document" tab at the top of the screen:<br />
<a href="http://www.americanjourneys.org/texts.asp">http://www.americanjourneys.org/texts.asp</a><br />
<br />
This screen shows all the documents (listed in chronological order) contained on the American Journeys website. <br />
<br />
2. For our example, let's choose the 1493 "Letter of Christopher Columbus to Ferdinand and Isabella." <br />
<br />
Click on the AJ (American Journeys) number, AJ-064, for that particular document.<br />
<br />
3. This step takes you to the AJ-604 Document page.<br />
<a href="http://www.americanjourneys.org/aj-064/index.asp">http://www.americanjourneys.org/aj-064/index.asp</a><br />
<br />
4. We can click on "Read This Document" to pull up the document itself.<br />
<a href="http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/aj&CISOPTR=4512">http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/aj&CISOPTR=4512</a><br />
<br />
5. But for me, the most exciting part of this website is the "Read Background" material for each document. <br />
<br />
Click on "Read Background" for AJ-604.<br />
<a href="http://www.americanjourneys.org/aj-064/summary/index.asp">http://www.americanjourneys.org/aj-064/summary/index.asp</a><br />
<br />
Notice all the great information on this screen:<br />
<br />
a. Author Note<br />
b. Event(s) pertinent to the specific document<br />
c. Document Note<br />
d. Other Internet or Reference Sources<br />
<br />
III. Choosing a Topic<br />
<a href="http://www.americanjourneys.org/teachers/choosetopic.html">http://www.americanjourneys.org/teachers/choosetopic.html</a><br />
<br />
IV. Geography<br />
<a href="http://www.americanjourneys.org/teachers/geography.html">http://www.americanjourneys.org/teachers/geography.html</a><br />
<br />
V. Interpretation: How Could They Think That? The Problem of Worldview<br />
<a href="http://www.americanjourneys.org/teachers/interpretation.html">http://www.americanjourneys.org/teachers/interpretation.html</a><br />
<br />
VI. Sensitive Content<br />

Introductory Note:<br />
<br />
Welcome to one in <a href="http://thelearningprofessor.wikispaces.com/WEBSITE+SPOTLIGHT">a series of posts</a>
which spotlight quality websites that I use with my U.S. History survey
course students at Azusa Pacific University to enrich the regular
material in our learning modules.<br />
<br />
In this post, I limit
myself to those specific aspects of the website which I find fit
particularly well within our face-to-face class sessions (each student
is required to bring a laptop to class) or as the basis for the
students' regularly-assigned written reactions.<br />
<br />
++++++++++<br />
<br />
I ask the students to work through the following links--at the point in the semester when appropriate:<br />

Welcome to one in <a href="http://thelearningprofessor.wikispaces.com/WEBSITE+SPOTLIGHT">a series of posts</a>
which spotlight quality websites that I use with my U.S. History survey
course students (I also used this particular website extensively in an
upper-division course on Colonial America) at Azusa Pacific University to enrich the regular
material in our learning modules.<br />
<br />
This site has been absolutely incredibly useful to me, as it offers numerous "collections of primary resources — historical documents, literary texts, and works of art — thematically organized with notes and discussion questions."<br />
<br />
+++<br />
<br />
I built an entire semester course on Colonial America around these two particular modules:<br />

which spotlight quality websites that I use with my U.S. History survey

<br />
A typical issue of this quarterly journal will contain the following major sections:<br />
<br />
1. "The Historian's Perspective" offers 4-6 scholarly essays. <br />
<br />
2. "From the Teacher's Desk" has lesson plans for elementary school, middle school, and high school..<br />
<br />
3. Interactive History section provides timelines, quizzes, and maps. <br />
<br />
4. "Ask the Archivist" offers suggested online sources. Really good!<br />

Welcome to one in <a href="http://thelearningprofessor.wikispaces.com/WEBSITE+SPOTLIGHT">a series of posts</a>

myself to those specific aspects of the website which I find fit
particularly well within our face-to-face class sessions (each student
is required to bring a laptop to class) or as the basis for the
students' regularly-assigned written reactions.<br />

Welcome to one in <a href="http://thelearningprofessor.wikispaces.com/WEBSITE+SPOTLIGHT">a series of posts</a>
which spotlight quality websites that I use with my U.S. History survey
course students at Azusa Pacific University to enrich the regular
material in our learning modules.<br />
<br />
In this post, I limit
myself to those specific aspects of the website which I find fit
particularly well within our face-to-face class sessions (each student
is required to bring a laptop to class) or as the basis for the
students' regularly-assigned written reactions.<br />

Introductory note:<br />
<br />
Welcome to one in <a href="http://thelearningprofessor.wikispaces.com/WEBSITE+SPOTLIGHT">a series of posts</a>
which spotlight quality websites that I use with my U.S. History survey
course students at Azusa Pacific University to enrich the regular
material in our learning modules.<br />
<br />
In this post, I limit
myself to those specific aspects of the website which I find fit
particularly well within our face-to-face class sessions (each student
is required to bring a laptop to class) or as the basis for the
students' regularly-assigned written reactions.<br />
<br />

<br />
I ask the students to work through the following links:<br />
