Abstract

This symposium will define digital history as the "study of the past using a variety of electronically reproduced primary source texts, images, and artifacts, as well as the constructed historical narratives, accounts, or presentations that result from digital historical inquiry" (Lee 2000 p. 504). The speakers will offer a framework for the integration of digital history into social studies teaching and learning based on constructivist learning theory. They will also provide examples of various current iterations of digital history and explore its continued development in social studies teacher education.
