'Today in History' App:
Get Inspired and Make Learning Intriguing
Technology is quickly becoming increasingly popular with students and more prevalent than ever before in elementary school classrooms. 'Today in History' app is an easy app to navigate where students and teachers can access a variety of headlines, quotes and spectacular images of important historical events and notable people through history. If students have an assignment on a particular topic in history, they can easily find it on the app and customize their settings to get updates on the specific material that interests them.
The best is that this app is absolutely free and accessible by all phone users and is therefore perfect to use in classrooms! If students have access to their own piece of technology, students can download this app on their phone or tablet and can take the historical learning outside of their classroom and into their homes. One of the many momentous historical facts that I discovered was on June 11 2008, Stephen Harper made an historic official apology to Canada's first nations regarding their century long residential school abuse where young children were removed from their families, native languages and exposed to physical and sexual abuse.
It is quite fascinating to see significant Canadian events as well as events from all over the world that should never be forgotten. Endless amounts of valuable, informative and educational information are compressed in this one single app. Elementary school teachers can easily be inspired to teach a specific topic they come across on this app and discuss it with their class. Whether you're in elementary school and need to figure out what to write for a history paper, or a teacher discussing world history to your class, this app is suited for everyone!
