TeachingHistory.Org: Center for History and New Media, George Mason University

History Education Hawaii received the following from Jessica Monge, Outreach Assistant with Teachinghistory.org at the Center for History and New Media, George Mason University:

Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Teachinghistory.org is designed to help K-12 history teachers access resources and materials to improve U.S History education in the classroom.

The Center for History and New Media at George Mason University designed Teachinghistory.org with the purpose of placing teaching strategies, community building, history content, current research and issues, and easy access to resources all in one central place. One of our goals is to bring together the different communities that are involved in the effort to improve history education.

In addition to online resources, Teachinghistory.org also offers a free biannual print newsletter, History Education News, as well as monthly e-newsletters and a classroom poster on historical thinking skills.
