Teaching
history using the Internet might sound like an oxymoron, but, as Trinkle and
Merriman show in this work, the two go hand in hand. The team that coauthored
The History Highway 2000 earlier this year provides a series of short essays,
authored by those in the field, on how technology can be used to teach history.
Covering all levels of education, the editors provide examples of how this has
been done successfully in the past few years. Everyone agrees that, in the near
future, all courses taught will somehow incorporate technology. As with any new
method, if technology is not used properly, it can hinder rather than help
educators in reaching their educational objectives. But the advantages to using
technology clearly appear to outweigh the disadvantages. The Internet is a part
of the world's culture and, as net-newspapers appear daily with no paper counterpart,
it's becoming a primary historical source itself. The timely issues discussed
here will certainly appeal to educators, so academic and large public libraries
should add this to their education collections. The book would actually be a
good addition to all collections, but its high cost may deter some libraries
from purchasing it.
