All the papers for this special edition of Canadian Social Studies were produced by educators who attended The Teaching of History Research Groups sponsored Symposium of November 25th 2005. The subject of our symposium was History Alive! Old Sources, New Technologies.
The day began with an inspirational address by Dr. Stéphane Lévesque who is Assistant Professor of History Education in the J.G. Althouse Faculty of Education at the University of Western Ontario. His paper is included here.
We also appreciate the time and energy taken by John Myers Curriculum Instructor in the Teacher Education Program at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto and Dr. Sharon Cook Professor of Education in the Faculty of Education, University of Ottawa who not only presented workshops but also prepared papers for this special edition.
Finally and not least important four of the papers included here were written by very experienced and respected classroom teachers: Carol White, Joe Stafford, Gord Sly and Mike Clare. They drew on their vast experience and their reflective, thoughtful natures to produce essays that contain excellent practical activities and good ideas for practitioners.
