Description
Book SynopsisA Primer for Teaching Digital History is a practical guide for college and high school teachers who are teaching digital history for the first time or for experienced teachers who want to reinvigorate their pedagogy.
Trade Review"With the substantial role it has played in higher education since the onset of the pandemic, teaching with technology is an area in need of robust scholarship. For humanities faculty,
A Primer for Teaching Digital History fills this gap with a well-organized and comprehensive guide to assignments, digital tools, and pedagogical approaches that assist with teaching not only history but also literature, art, music, and culture. Guiliano’s eminently practical guide is as valuable for experienced digital pedagogies as those just getting started." -- Roopika Risam * Public Books *
“Guiliano provides a creative, flexible, and comprehensive framework to guide digital history in the classroom. The digital resources linked throughout this book, most of them free, offer teachers and students multiple ways to immediately engage in the digital history methods the author describes and suggests. Teachers seeking to help their students understand their histories, communities, and the world around them will be well-served with this book as their guide.” -- Alison Dobrick * Teachers College Record *
"The book includes a comprehensive glossary and endnotes, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in history or digital storytelling, or those looking to refine their teaching practices. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals." -- C. R. Hilburger * Choice *
“A Primer for Teaching Digital History is an excellent resource both for people who are new to teaching digital history and for those who have been doing it for a while.”
-- William J. Turkel * Historical Studies in Education *
