Traditional historical scholarship, historical thinking, 2.0 digi-mocracy, social networking sites, primary source investigation, diy styled methodology, dialectics, and engaged historical learning are amongst the tools utilized.   I have recently written about a past project that involved students constructing a historical narrative of the Little Rock Nine and posting it on a myspace page here: http://jeffersonsnewspaper.org/2009/experimenting-with-historical-thinking-and-web-2-0-the-little-rock-nine/

I have also created two websites with the help of the Erin at the Center for Public History and the Digital Humanities. Check those out here: Street Law and Global Issues.

I’d like to present a few of my projects and engage a variety of folks to generate both a realistic and visionary discussion on the usefulness of the above in an urban school setting.
