This document summarizes a grant-funded professional development program for middle and high school U.S. history teachers called "History Connected." The program focuses on the theme of "War, Society, State, and Citizenship" from the American Revolution to the Vietnam War. It includes school day seminars taught by historians, book discussion groups, and a summer institute providing learning opportunities, resources, and graduate credit or PDPs for participating teachers.
Teaching the Civil War Era with TechnologyIan Farrell
The American Civil War was a unique period in history – not just American history but world history as well. It was a war of firsts that preserved the democratic form of government as well as pioneered many social freedoms we largely take for granted today. The Civil War ended slavery and in turn launched a young nation into an industrial and technological economic, military, political, and social prowess.
Despite taking place over 150 years ago, the Civil War can very much be brought back to life through the use of technology. This modern privilege allows teachers and students alike to study and link the past with the present. As of current, there are a myriad of interactive resources available to teachers so that they may better their students’ education; and as technology progresses, the limitations of study will certainly continue to diminish.

In these webinar slides, Limeade Chief People Officer Dr. Laura Hamill dives deep into the science of well-being.
