I decided to research and learn more about Alabama Mosaic. This tool is found under the high school tab. Although, it is found under the high school tab I believe it is applicable to University study too. Alabama Mosaic is a historical digital database. It can be used for research papers or really anything that deals with the state of Alabama and it's history. I have found newspaper articles, pictures, postcards, and documents on the data base. Going forward I will be using the database for research papers and projects. I also thought about possibly creating some type of internet scavenger hunt. All in all, I really like the features this data base has and how it specifically deals with Alabama history. This a fantastic tool to use in our history classrooms.

ReplyDeleteThe AVL website is a free resource to anyone in Alabama. It contains many types of databases covering various subjects. The database selected, Pronunciator, offers access to over 163 languages. The lessons, quizzes, drills, and vocabulary are generated for different age groups. This resource will be particularly helpful for foreign language teachers and their students. It is a tool that can provide assistance or enhancements. I can use this database when interacting with first time international students – hearing a familiar word/phrase might make the adjustment to life in the United States easier.
The Alabama Mosaic database seems like a very interesting database to use especially for visual aids in the classroom. Being a histroy teacher as syou said, you would be able to use these for a visual primary source on a topic in the classroom. For my in phsical education I would love to use this more for visual aids on historical figures within athletics form generations ago. This would be how it would help me within my classroom. Great job on the video!
