Excavating the secrets, scandals, and untold stories hiding below the surface of life, and giving voice to the characters who make or made those hiStories happen.
Two days ago, I woke in a cold sweat with a to-do list as long as my braccio.* We're going full-speed ahead on building the app right now and while I'm thrilled with the results, it's a lot of work. So I wasn't really relishing the idea of taking time from my busy app-building schedule to compose our weekly blog and newsletter.
Next week I’m heading to the International School of Dusseldorf for a second year. It’s a dream job. The ISD humanities teachers and I will be turning students on to how to Turn History On.
We will guide young minds in combining factual research and creative writing to produce tales of historical fiction.
And if that weren’t already excellence enough, we will then direct students in how to publish their masterpieces as interactive digital books!
Research + Storytelling + Technology = TURNING HISTORY ON
