Alabama Mosaic
As a music teacher, I am not familiar with the AVL. After
searching the AVL and experimenting with the resources, I think it is an
excellent tool for students and teachers to use for academic research. I chose
the Alabama Mosaic database to explore. The Alabama Mosaic resource is a
database that allows users to locate digital content that is specific and
unique to Alabama history, places, people, and culture. You can find historical
pictures, newspaper articles, sheet music, recordings, and more through the Alabama
Mosaic database. This database would be useful to high school and college aged
students as well as anyone that enjoys Alabama history. I am using the Alabama
Mosaic database to collect information for a project I will be doing with my band
students. The project will be based on the music of Alabama and the Alabama Bicentennial
celebration. This would be a fantastic resource for an Alabama history course
as well.
Jamie,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your demonstration from AVL using Alabama Mosaic. I am like you in that I really enjoy Alabama history and things that are "Alabama". I liked how you talked about the database and how you were going to use it with your band students fro the Bicentennial celebration. My school is also participating in coming up with a presentation for the Bicentennial celebration and I now have a resource to provide our students with to be able to find a multitude of needed information for their presentation. Thank you for demonstrating Alabama Mosaic, I look forward to having my students utilize it.
