New Ways of Teaching History
In a technology and media-driven world， it＇s becoming increasinglydifficult to get our students’ attentions andkeep them absorbed in classroom discussions. This generation， in particular，has brought a unique set of challenges to the educational table. Whereas youthare easily enraptured by high-definition television， computers， iPods， videogames and cell phones， they are less than enthralled by what to them areobsolete textbooks and boring classroom lectures. The question of how to teachhistory in a digital age is often contentious. On the one side， the old guardthinks the professional standards history is in mortal danger fromflash-in-the-pan challenges by the distal that are all show and no the other Side， the self-styled “disruptors” offer over-blown rhetoric about how digital technology has changedeverything while the moribund profession obstructs all progress in the name ofoutdated ideals. At least， that＇s a parody （maybe not much of one） of how thedebate proceeds. Both supporters and opponents of the digital share moredisciplinary common ground than either admits.
When provided with merely a textbook as a supplemental learning tool， testresults have revealed that most students fail to pinpoint the significance ofhistorical events and individuals. Fewer still are able to cite andsubstantiate primary historical sources. What does this say about the way oureducators are presenting information？ The quotation comes from a report of a1917 test of 668 Texas students. Less than 10 percent of school-age childrenattended high school in 1917； today， enrollments are nearly universal. Thewhole world has turned on its head during the last century but one thing hasstayed the same： Young people remain woefully ignorant about history reflectedfrom their history tests. Guess what？ Historians are ignorant too， especiallywhen we equate historical knowledge with the ＂Jeopardy＂ Daily a test， those specializing in American history did just fine. But those withspecialties in medieval， European and African history failed miserably whenconfronted by items about Fort Ticonderoga， the Olive Branch Petition， or theQuebec Act — all taken from a typical textbook. According to thetesters， the results from the recent National Assessment in History， likescores from earlier tests， show that young people are ＂abysmallyignorant＂ of their own history. Invoking the tragedy of last September，historian Diane Ravitch hitched her worries about our future to the idea thatour nation＇s strength is endangered by youth who do poorly on such tests. Butif she were correct， we could have gone down the tubes in 1917！
There is a huge difference between saying ＂Kids don’t know the history we want then to know＂ and saying ＂Kids don＇tknow history at all.＂ Historical knowledge burrows itself into ourcultural pores even if young people can＇t marshal it when faced by a multiplechoice test. If we weren’t such hypocrites（or maybe if we were better historians） we＇d have to admit that today＇sstudents follow in our own footsteps. For too long we＇ve fantasized that byrewriting textbooks we could change how history is learned. The problem，however， is not the content of textbooks but the very idea of them. No humanmind could retain the information crammed into these books in 1917， and it cando no better now. If we have learned anything from history that can be appliedto every time period， it is that the only constant is change. The teaching ofhistory， or any subject for that matter， is no exception. The question is nolonger whether to bring new technologies into everyday education； now， thequestion is which There is a huge difference between saying ＂Kids don’t know the history we want then to know＂ and saying ＂Kids don＇tknow history at all.＂ Historical knowledge burrows itself into ourcultural pores even if young people can＇t marshal it when faced by a multiplechoice test.

If we have learned anything from history that can be appliedto every time period， it is that the only constant is change. The teaching ofhistory， or any subject for that matter， is no exception. The question is nolonger whether to bring new technologies into everyday education； now， thequestion is which technologies are most suitable for the range of topicscovered in junior high and high school history classrooms. Fortunately，technology has provided us with opportunities to present our Civil War lessonplans or our American Revolution lesson plans in a variety of new ways.
Teachers can easily target and engage the learners of this generation byeffectively combining the study of history with innovative multimedia- PowerPointand presentations in particular can expand the scope of traditional classroomdiscussion by helping teachers to explain abstract concepts while accommodatingstudents* unique learning styles. PowerPoint study units that have beenpre-made for history classrooms include all manner of photos， prints， maps，audio clips， video clips and primary sources which help to make learninginteractive and stimulating. Presenting lessons in these enticing formats helpstechnology-driven students retain the historical information they＇ll need toknow for standard exams.
Whether you are covering Revolutionary War lesson plans or World War IIlesson plans， PowerPoint study units are available in formats to suit the needsof your classroom. Multimedia teaching instruments like PowerPoint software aregetting positive results the world over， framing conventional lectures withcaptivating written， auditory and visual content that helps students recallnames， dates and causal relationships within a historical context.
History continues to show us that new times bring new realities. Educationis no exception to the rule. The question is not whether to bring technologyinto the educational environment. Rather， the question is which technologiesare suitable for U.S. and world history subjects， from Civil War lesson plansto World War II lesson plans. Whether you’re covering your American Revolution lesson plans or your Cold War lessonplans， PowerPoint presentations are available in pre-packaged formats to suityour classroom＇s needs.
Meanwhile， some academic historians hold a different view on the use oftechnology in teaching history. One reason they hold is that not all facts canbe recorded by film or videos and literature is relatively feasible in thiscase her challenge they have to be faced with is the painful process tolearn new technology like the making of PowerPoint and the editing of audio andvideo clips which is also reasonable especially to some elderly historians.
