>> ANNOUNCEMENT -- RICHARD WHITE MODERATES A WEB FORUM ON TEACHING THE
>> AMERICAN WEST
>>
>> Starting April 5, 1999, Richard White will moderate an open discussion on
>> teaching the American West on the HISTORY MATTERS Web site
>> (http://historymatters.gmu.edu). From the "Browse" page select "Talking
>> History" then select "The American West."
>>
>> Professor White will answer questions about teaching the West and lead a
>> discussion on this topic among participants. The discussion will focus
>> particularly on how to incorporate Western history in the standard U.S.
>> history survey course and suggestions for resources or strategies.
>>
>> H-Net subscribers can participate in the forum from the Web site or via
>> e-mail as part of a listserve. To subscribe to the listserve go to the
>> web
>> site and select "Join or leave list."
>>
>> HISTORY MATTERS: The U.S. Survey Course on the Web is a new site that
>> serves as a gateway to the Web for teachers of the U.S. History Survey
>> course. It provides high school and college teachers (and their students)
>> a starting point for exploring American history on the Web, a large
>> number
>> of first-person historical documents for use in the classroom, and a range
>> of teaching resources (sample syllabi, teaching assignments, and forums,
>> for example). A project of the American Social History Project/Center
>> for
>> Media and Learning of the City University of New York and the Center for
>> History and New Media at George Mason University with support from the W.
>> K. Kellogg Foundation, the site is an in-progress prototype that will grow
>> as our resources permit.
