The New York City based Educational Video Center EVC http://evc.org/inspired me to start to envision my history classes as documentary film and voicethread http://voicethread.com/ studios where students are creating historical accounts all their own (talk about revisionist history). This could be fantastic for research skills, digital literacy, critical thinking and potentially social action. This could really break the model of the teacher as storyteller in high school history classes model which I am extremely guilty of but want to move away from.
