Talking History Webinars |
 |
Talking History is AIHE's monthly Professional Development webinar on a variety of history topics. Sessions typically include audio and powerpoint presentations, and many also integrate a live video feed. Sessions are recorded for later playback.
Michael Ballard,
Project Director from
Citrus County, Florida, writes:
| "Thank you and AIHE for producing Talking History. We're still talking about Sleepy Hollow, and several of my teachers who 'attended' the First Thanksgiving have stated they are using that material this week and next as we get ready for our Thanksgiving break." |
