  18. Pictures can …. Be deliberately manipulated. Allow us to move beyond the limitations of textbooks. Increase student engagement. Help EAL students. Deliver their own biases. Promote inquiry. Tell another side of the story. Promote empathy. Give students the opportunity to analyse historical sources. Distort reality. Encourage students to stop reading.

  19. QUESTION:Has the increased availability of historical images changed what you teach about history?

  20. Web Traffic

  21. We all love history and here are a host of history lists to prove it. Get you history knowledge in the form of top 10 lists, it is easier on the stomach. http://www.toptenz.net/lists/miscellaneous/history

  22. It’s History, Not a Viral Feed The Two Teenagers Who Run Wildly Popular Twitter Feeds @HistoryInPics http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/01/the-2-teenagers-who-run-the-wildly-popular-twitter-feed-historyinpics/283291 http://sarahwerner.net/blog/index.php/2014/01/its-history-not-a-viral-feed • Without attribution, there’s no way to further research the claims being made. • The pictures are given with no context. • Many popular posts have been written with blatant errors. • The feeds create a culture where history becomes entertainment rather than a genuine humanistic inquiry. • Some images are highly insensitive.

  23. 10 People Who Did Not Board the Titanichttp://listverse.com/2011/12/09/10-people-who-did-not-board-the-titanic/?utm_source=more&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=direct • 10 people who did not board the Titanic: me, my mom, my dad, my grandad, my ooma, my aunt, my uncle, my uncle, my aunt, my cousin” • Notice how they said rooms B52 54 AND 56 those were the same room numbersMr. Lovejoy, Cal, Rose,and her mother were boarding in on the movie Titanic ... very clever. • Alfred Vanderbilt had not booked passage on Titanic. His uncle George Vanderbilt did, however. George changed his passage to Titanic's sister ship Olympic about a week before Titanic sailed although George's servant Edwin Wheeler sailed on Titanic and was lost. Proof of this is currently in the archives at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. Here is an article I co-wrote about it. http://luxurylinerrow.com/tita...”

  24. Web Traffic is …. Changing expectations. Increasing people’s interest in history. Promoting poor historical methodology. Putting history in the hands of the people. The way of the future. Destroying historical credibility. Ignoring cultural sensitivities Reflective of the types of ‘preferred’ histories that have always been around.

  25. QUESTION:Do you feel a pressure to ‘edu’tain in your history class?Do you think changing technologies have contributed to this?

  26. Storage & Retrieval Wydra.T ‘USB Flash’ (2008) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Usb_flash.jpg The Server Room at the National Archives (UK) (2011) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_view_of_the_server_room_at_The_National_Archives.jpg

  27. QUESTION:What will be the job of the future historian?
