I really feel like personal technology is the easiest way to integrate it into classrooms. giving each student autonomy in their own hands is a big deal, but the issue becomes cost. If that can be overcome, students can be provided with iPads, ThinkPads, or other personal technology and they can access tons of virtual information. I mentioned virtual tours in a previous post, and there are two really nice apps in the Apple store that provide this opportunity. Pyramids 3D and Virtual History ROMA both give great insight and access into history that students will find really engaging.
I am still searching for more unique ways to integrate technology that will engage students with the history content. Everything I read is about using tech to create projects and complete assignments. They are all nice ideas, but I want the information presentation to be better because of technology, not just the products.
