Re: [LM_NET] SHARE: History Detectives Website

Ronda and other LM_Netters,
Thanks for the lead on the History Detectives. Another interesting site to explore 
if you are teaching or helping teach a unit on historical investigation is the Nova 
program, "Who Killed the Red Baron?" Since this is a topic covered in our World 
History curriculum I have used it with history teachers covering WWI.
The URL is: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/teachers/programs/3011_redbaron.html

to me, and possibly useful to many of our students is the link to a  
video about Weighing Evidence (it requires Real Player).  The link is:

http://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/video/index.html

The clip is relatively short (about 8 minutes) and gives a nice  
overview of primary and secondary sources, and discusses use of  
authoritative sources, but it is done in an engaging style, in a real- 
world setting, and isn't overly technical or dry.
