A different view's beside's traditional history.

How I Use It

I used the Zinn education project to enhance my classroom. I use this website to help the students understand there is more to history that the black and white words that are printed in our text book. For example, many time students know that Christopher Columbus, in 1492 sailed the ocean blue and discovered a new world. However, many students do not realize he was a thief and a murderer. Zinn enables students to realize there is more than one side to every story. This website helps the students understand more about our past and helps them ask the more difficult questions that lead to a deeper understanding of what makes up our nation's past.
