History Online
History Online The web can be a marvelous place. In the blink of an eye you can travel to Australia, India or France. Without leaving the comfort of your own home, you can read the handwritten letters of Thomas Jefferson or see paintings found on the walls of caves in France. You can search for a book in Tokyo, or read a publication from Senegal.
Unfortunately, you can be duped just as fast.
The world wide web is an easily accessible place. Anyone with a modem, some software, and a little room on their hard drive can publish their beliefs. While this makes the web an excellent forum for shared perspectives, it also makes it a place where inaccurate information, misleading statements, and outright lies can appear credible.
With this in mind, the following pages offer help and advice for making GOOD use of the web for history classes.
