Explore Years of African American History in Hi-Def

My Take

The quality and modern storytelling and interviews are very well done. The media in this series truly allow students to dive deeper into the African American experience over a large time period. No matter what era of history you are learning, there is a section of media lessons that might relate. My only concern is a teacher can get overwhelmed with the variety of content and instructional resources, so it is best to review the lesson content with a goal in mind. I think the lesson content is great for whole class, but it an also be great for collaborative groups when in a 1:1 or shared devices learning environment. However, I think with some curriculum time limits I would definitely include this kind of content to extend students learning and would be ideal if a teacher was flipping her classroom. There are no limits to how this media can be used in a classroom.
