PrimaryAccess
From ToolCenter
The primaryAccess Initiative, a web-based system designed specifically for K-12 student and teachers, is based at the Center for Technology and Teacher Education at Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia. primaryAccess offers students and teachers the opportunity to use primary source documents to create digital movies (historical narratives) that provide a compelling and meaningful learning experience.
The act of producing the narrative provides a strong active learning experience, in which the learner must research the topic, actively construct meaning from the primary documents available, craft a written story that conveys that understanding to others, and finally, create a movie that uses the documents to accompany the narration in a visually compelling manner.
