The document discusses the need for history teachers to shift from a left-brain focus on order and logic to nurturing right-brain skills like creativity and innovation. As complex communication and expert thinking skills are increasingly demanded, teachers must avoid solely using traditional "paper training" and instead incorporate more collaborative assignments. The document also recommends teachers use online communities and multimedia tools already available to engage students in history, have students produce their own media, and learn from collaborating with other departments.
