This website hosts a growing collection of annotated resources that can be used in social studies and history classrooms. The annotations include specific information about the content of the resources as well as pedagogical uses. Adam Friedman at Wake Forest University develop the tool and it is available online at http://www.afriedman.net/dlt/
One of the interesting things about the site is inclusion of rich and detailed annotations, which include specific historical summary and contextual information. For example, annotations include information on
- Background or history of creator/author:
- Historical context (ie what’s happening (at the time of origin) locally, nationally, and internationally that might have affected perspectives presented?)
In addition, the tool includes information about interpretations drawn from the resource or analysis of resources.
In addition to this historical information, the Digital Literacy Tool also includes annotations on the pedagogical qualities of resources. Including information about standards and possible scaffolding that would support students using the resources.
This resources is also Web 2.0 and open for users to submit annotations.
