Join to find out more about a project that placed students as historians, creating compelling narratives and telling multimedia stories about their families in the Second World War.
During the session you will hear about a method of digital storytelling that encourages students to learn by conducting research. Students use primary sources in their study - interviews and collections of family memorabilia. Search services like Finna.fi and Europeana.eu and digitised collections of the National Archive supplement their family collections. As the student searches for answers to their research questions, a micro-level history is woven into a larger macro-level context, displaying the multifaceted nature of history, and as students account for their family history, they connect emotionally to the past. We believe this helps support the students’ growth and identity.
The method is valid for creating digital stories on any other historical topic, and teachers can apply it at all school levels. Join, and find out how you can encourage your students to become historians.
Juha has been a history and social studies teacher in secondary and upper secondary schools for over thirty years.
His colleague Sari Halavaara and he have focused on developing student-centered and collaborative learning methods. Digital technologies are an essential tool for enhancing learning. They have created three learning scenarios on the Teaching with Europeana website.
Our acknowledgments: The History and Social Studies Teacher of the Year Award (2012). Apple Distinguished Educator (2017). Jan Comenius Award for innovative teaching of EU affairs (2020).
