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.
