AndAllThat Blog Move #tweko

10/20/2013

The AndAllThat.co.uk teacher blog is moving from WordPress onto the main website. From now on you will find non-topic related content here.

You can still access the archives from the WordPress site by visiting http://andallthatweb.wordpress.com . I will endeavour to transfer the content over the next few months.

Questioning the way we teach the slave trade and a look at African historiographies of the trade. Slavery and the Slave Trade – Perspectives from African History
An interesting look through the history of radicalism in the Stuart period. Questions the notion of a British radical tradition and looks at what we mean by a freedom of the press. Teaching British History – The Home of Radicalism
A look at how Durham tackle medieval history as well as a brief tour of the cathedral and castle. Globalising Medieval History
A slightly more complex lecture looking at the idea that understanding the past involves thinking about how people in the past viewed the future. Also how a sense of past and future contribute to identity not just the past. What is Modern History
A look at how the 1972 Olympics were a turning point for Germany. Some of the detail on how the games were created and envisioned in contrast to the Nazi Olympics is fascinating. The 1972 Olympics and the Making of Modern Germany

The Cat and the Coup: a free, slightly odd, documentary game (and a beautiful one at that I might add) which looks at the role of the British and Americans in bringing about the end of a democratically elected government in Iran. You play a cat, guiding the socialist prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh through the story of his downfall. This event was one of the paving blocks for the Islamic revolution of 1978 and the rise of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

So what do we think of this as a way of learning history?
