History Video ConferenceNovember 2008 |
During Remembrance Week history pupils from 10AF took part in a special event held in conjunction with the National Archives in London. A video conference was held to give pupils the opportunity to access the Archive’s materials and to take part in an ‘interview’ with a First World War soldier.
The aim of the videoconference workshop was for students to develop their understanding of life in the trenches, through engaging with an actor in role as a soldier from a Pal's Battalion. It also gave an opportunity for pupils to consider how useful this type of historical interpretation is as a piece of evidence, is it pure entertainment or has it more value?
Students also developed their ICT skills by interacting with a historical character via videoconference. Through developing their own questions they also shaped their own session, making the event a huge success.
