TKDmom Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 DD15 is currently studying American History using American Odyssey. She has been asking to study Modern history next year (because we've never gotten that far before). What have you used? Bonus points for an online class. WTMA is my first choice, but it doesn't look like they offer a modern world history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Most Survey of Modern World History Courses are going to start from 1500 on. You would cover political, social, and economic trends that have shaped our world, especially for the last 100 years. What time frame does your dd have in mind?

TKDmom Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I think we were both thinking post-civil war era. We have a copy of Human Odyssey vol 3 somewhere (1914-present). I may use that if I don't find anything more promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GThomas Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 We use History Odyssey, but it's not an online class. http://www.pandiapress.com/publications/history-odyssey/ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamee Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Not sure about online, but in college I took a 20th century world history class. Is that what she's looking for? Sounds like a great idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great idea.Yes. I think that's exactly what she wants. We will have to look into what DE classes are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
