    Project Title: Use of digital historical resources in a single school system


    Description: This paper reported on the results of comprehensive survey administered in a large urban/suburban
    school district in the southeastern United States. The findings presented in this paper illuminated the extent to
    which teachers were using digital (online) and non-digital historical resources and the ways in which they were
    using them. This paper focused on the comparative relationship between of the uses of non-digital and digital
    historical resources. We found that participants used both on and offline resources in limited fashion, but the use
    of online materials was particularly inauthentic.
