One of my portfolio ideas that I will implement this year is something I saw to get students to use current media to talk about characters of the past. This is a template I found where a teacher gets students to fill out a facebook page on an important person from history. I am taking it a step further by allowing my students to create a wiki that closely resembles facebook to imput information they need to know on all of the important people from U.S. history. This will be something they build over the semester and hopefully will allow them to categorize the figures into groups and see the connections between people and themes. What do you think?!
