Denise in PA Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 This semester I have the privilege of not only teaching high school history to my two children but several other inspiring teens. I am seeking your suggestions regarding videos to blend with the weekly reading assignments and class discusssion (we are beginning to study the fall of Rome and the Middle Ages). Due to time constraints I plan to only play about 10-15 minute clips of video. I found several on-line videos from the History Channel, but prefer less violent graphics. The Lerner-Anneberg Foundation offers free on-line educational videos (Wester Civilization lectures displaying over 2700 art pieces from the Metropolitan Museum of Art) but the half-hour lectures are, well, rather dry. Any suggestions/opinions/experiences would be very much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIch elle Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 It was excellent for the middle ages which also is in sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 You could try The Teaching Company. My dd is doing their Early American History, and loves the teacher. He dresses up like the person/era he's talking about, and speaks as if he's that person. It makes it so much more intereesting! maybe they have something on the era you're looking for? www.TEACH12.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
