From Ho-Hum History Lesson to Engaging Investigation

In this article "From Ho-Hum History Lesson to Engaging Investigation on Education-World.com" I learned that because the Internet has a lot of resources a student can access in reference to an investigation you might ask them to do. It is wise as a teacher to limit the sources students are to use to help students focus to only equal and interesting sources so as to not confuse the students. To get them engage the article states that we should set the tone of a lesson with music that tells about that era in History. Using images of the event in History draws students into the event and helps them understand the time. It also helps to pose questions when analyzing material such as images, letters, newspaper articles, political cartoons. I would of liked to be able to open the links provided by the article but it would not let me and it does not show a web address that I could go to. :-(
