Beyond a Story Well Told: Using Oral Histories for Social Justice Curriculum
Miller, Grant R.
Action in Teacher Education, v32 n3 p55-65 Fall 2010
In this article, I describe the process that five graduate students used to collect oral histories about racial desegregation in a community in southern Illinois. Using these stories, I and a project team developed a unique online learning environment that facilitates and assesses the user's abilities to engage in historical thinking as a means for analyzing how ordinary citizens in a democratic society fought for social justice. (Contains 4 figures.)
