This document summarizes and evaluates two digital artefacts about Australian history.
The first artefact discusses exclusion in Australia, presenting information over 11 slides about why certain immigrant groups came to Australia and attitudes towards non-white immigrants. It provides primary sources but lacks interactivity.
The second artefact is an interactive simulation where students help a fictional boy decide whether to enlist during WWI. It includes audio interviews, maps, and opportunities to learn more by clicking on items. Students must analyze arguments for and against enlistment before advising the boy. This keeps students engaged through interactive elements.
Both artefacts provide educational value by exploring historical attitudes, but the second is praised for its hands-on, interactive

Mrs. Southerland's United States History class had several activities this year including class photos, using GPS for geocaching, guest speakers on war policy and cultural life, a trip to the history museum, research projects on historical figures, working on videos and study guides, an old family photo assignment, a postcard project, and a project on the Constitution. Students learned through varied activities involving speakers, field trips, research, and multimedia projects.
Interactive Alternatives in Teaching History v01
Interaction and communications are integral to the flow of my civics class. Students maintain a student blog for each class, containing a summary of class events and homework assignments. Additionally, technology facilitates simulations which help students to integrate civics concepts into their daily understanding of reality. For example, in Mock Congress, students apply their prior study of the Constitution to a simulation of the legislative process—complete with lobbyists, press, and (virgin) cocktail parties—to understand how the system works by living it. Take-home tests and dynamic projects also provide them with opportunities to collaborate and communicate in innovative ways.
The Washington March
The Birmingham and Washington marches were important for raising awareness of civil rights issues. The 1963 March on Washington involved over 250,000 demonstrators gathering to demand equal rights. It was a huge success as it brought national attention to the civil rights movement and put pressure on President Kennedy to take action. Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech emphasized the Christian values of brotherhood and hope and helped unite Americans around the cause of racial equality.

Abridgement
Mao launched the Cultural Revolution to reignite socialist ideals in China and purge "bourgeois influences" like writers, artists, and teachers. He encouraged young Red Guards and students to "rebel" by closing schools and sending them to attack these groups. The Red Guards traveled freely by train to meet with and worship Mao in Beijing. They destroyed private homes and cultural relics from the past as part of attacking the "four olds." Their actions led to a cruel persecution of teachers and officials, as well as infighting between Red Guard factions that caused many deaths. While the economy was spared in rural areas, factories shut down, causing major problems, and the official death toll from the period was 34,800.
Chinese Social Structure
China has a large workforce of over 1.3 billion people, with most between 15-64 years old. The population is growing at 0.5% per year and is nearly evenly split between males and females.

China under Mao Zedong
Mao Zedong was a revolutionary leader who established communist rule in China and served as the first Chairman of the People's Republic of China from its establishment in 1949 until his death in 1976. As chairman, Mao launched controversial campaigns like the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution that had disastrous economic and social consequences but aimed to solidify his power and communist ideology.

The document provides an overview of the 1989 student protests in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China. It discusses how higher education, political corruption, civil unrest, and widespread media coverage prompted the June protests. Figures show photos of the iconic "Tank Man" confronting military vehicles, student protestors waving flags in Tiananmen Square, and maps of China and Beijing. The document examines who protested, where the actions took place beyond just Tiananmen Square, how the Chinese government has since clamped down on information about the events, and international media coverage contrasting the government's account.
East Asia - 1945 - Present
The document summarizes the history of China and East Asia since 1945. It describes how Mao Zedong's communist forces defeated Chiang Kai-shek's nationalists in 1949, establishing the People's Republic of China. It then outlines major events in China including the Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution, and Tiananmen Square protests. It also discusses the economic rise of Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, and Hong Kong in the later 20th century.
Propaganda In China
The Communist Party of China uses the country's mass media as a propaganda tool to promote social stability and the party's agenda. The CCP censors the media through tactics like fines, demotions, imprisonment and closing outlets. The government also restricts information online through blocking websites and canceling searches. In 1989, student protests in Tiananmen Square calling for democratic reforms were violently suppressed by the military, resulting in hundreds or possibly over a thousand deaths. The government continues censoring information about this event.
China Tiananmen Article
Twenty-five years ago, the Chinese government ordered the military to clear Tiananmen Square of pro-democracy protesters, killing hundreds or thousands. Today, any discussion of the event is heavily censored in China, with people using coded language like "May 35th" to talk about the "June 4th" military crackdown. The Chinese government has successfully removed accounts of the massacre from history books and the Internet, leaving many young people unaware of what happened. Discussing the event can still result in punishment, as the government works to erase the protests from history and prevent opposition from gathering either publicly or online.

Today, any discussion of the event is heavily censored in China, with people using coded language like "May 35th" to talk about the "June 4th" military crackdown. The Chinese government has successfully removed accounts of the massacre from history books and the Internet. Those who do discuss it risk punishment, and a survey found most Chinese students did not recognize the famous "Tank Man" photo from the event. The government also increasingly blocks foreign websites and monitors online discussions to limit any challenges to the official account that Tiananmen Square did not happen.
Regional review --china
This document summarizes trends in transparency in China from 1966 to 2010, including the Cultural Revolution, economic reforms, and the Tiananmen Square incident. It discusses challenges around censorship and propaganda, and analyzes case studies of how new media has encouraged civic participation and transparency around issues like a waste incinerator, freedom of speech in Hong Kong, investigating earthquake victims, and environmental activism. While the internet is becoming more controlled by the government, the document expresses hope that cooperation across platforms and regions can help spread information that Chinese citizens need.
Tiananmen square
In 1989, over one million pro-democracy protestors occupied Beijing's Tiananmen Square, inspired by economic reforms and movements toward democracy in Eastern Europe. The protestors demanded more political freedom in China. The country's leaders repeatedly asked the protestors to leave, but they remained. In June 1989, the Chinese government forcefully ended the protests by sending tanks and troops to Tiananmen Square, killing many protestors in what became known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
Human rights abuses
The document summarizes human rights violations in China, including imprisonment without cause, brutal treatment of prisoners, censorship and repression of religion and dissent, the violent crackdown of protests at Tiananmen Square in 1989, economic issues harming farmers, and a plan to write a letter to the U.S. ambassador about strategies to address these problems.
3 18 student movement (2014,TAIWAN)
Students and civic groups occupied Taiwan's legislature from March 18th to protest a trade agreement with China. Over several weeks, hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered, students lived in the legislature, and negotiations with the government failed to meet protester demands. On April 10th, after concessions from the legislative speaker, students peacefully left the legislature while vowing to continue the movement.

By Maggie Astor
March 5, 2018
Every few weeks or months, after a man armed with a high-powered weapon walks into a school or a church or a
nightclub and opens fire, the national response plays out in a rote, almost performative way. The outcry lasts only a few
days before guns fade back into the background noise of American politics.
But nearly three weeks after a gunman walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., and killed
17 people with an AR-15, the conversation has not faded, because the students of Stoneman Douglas have taken up the
cause of gun control. Already, they have lobbied state lawmakers in Tallahassee, spoken with President Trump and
persuaded many companies to cut ties with the National Rifle Association. And on Saturday, they met with students
fighting gun violence in Chicago.
Several of those students, and their critics, have noted the incongruity of teenagers getting involved in politics. But
history is full of movements led by students — albeit usually in college, not high school. Some were successful and others
brutally crushed, but even the latter still resonate. (Most of these campaigns have been liberal-leaning: Though
conservative college students have made their presence known, their actions have rarely coalesced into broader
movements.)
Here are seven other cases where young people were moved to challenge adult society.
Greensboro sit-ins, 1960
The lunch counter sit-ins that would change American history began with four teenagers who walked up to a Woolworth’s
lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C., and refused to leave.

Those young men — Ezell Blair Jr., 18; Franklin McCain, 19; Joseph McNeil, 17; and David Richmond, 18, all students at
North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University — made their stand on Feb. 1, 1960. Within three days, they
were joined by some 300 others. By summer, the sit-ins had spread to more than 50 cities, and lunch counters were
rapidly desegregating.
The actions of the so-called Greensboro Four led directly to the creation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee, which the civil rights organizer Ella Baker urged students to form in April 1960 to coordinate the continuing
sit-ins. Later, SNCC would play a major role in the Freedom Rides and in voter registration efforts across the South. And
the momentum that began at the Woolworth’s lunch counter would eventually contribute to the passage of the Civil
Rights A ...
What’s going on - arab spring/Occupy mvmt.
The document discusses the youth movements in the Arab Spring uprisings and Occupy Wall Street protests. It notes that both movements were driven by citizens coming together to protest issues like political corruption, unemployment, corporate greed, and economic recession. While the Arab Spring targeted authoritarian regimes and their repression, Occupy Wall Street protested the influence of corporations on politics and growing economic inequality. The movements both utilized social media and saw a range of responses from authorities, from violent crackdowns to the eventual overthrow of leaders in some Arab countries.
COMM420 Application Paper
The document summarizes the events of the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre in Beijing on June 5, 1989. It describes how over 700 protesters were killed by Chinese military in an attempt to stop the pro-democracy demonstrations. The most iconic image from this event was the photo of "Tank Man" - an anonymous protester who stood in front of a line of tanks, risking his life to stop their advance. Though his identity remains unknown, Tank Man has become a symbol of resistance against authoritarian governments. The document argues that even single individuals can make a difference and influence perspectives through moral protest against corruption.
Revolution in China
The document summarizes the history of revolution in China from the 1800s to the present. It discusses major events like the Opium Wars, establishment of the Republic of China, civil war between the Nationalists and Communists leading to Mao's rise to power in 1949, his economic reforms like the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, and Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. It also covers China's relationship with foreign powers like the UK governing Hong Kong until 1997.
Korea human rights
This document provides details about archives related to the May 18th Democratic Uprising in Gwangju, South Korea in 1980. It summarizes the events that led to citizens protesting against the military regime, the brutal suppression by government forces, and the aftermath including deaths, injuries, arrests, and long-term impacts on survivors. It also outlines the nomination committee that is registering these archives with UNESCO's Memory of the World programme to promote awareness and study of the uprising and South Korea's democratization.
Korea human rights
This document provides details about documentary items related to the May 18th Democratic Uprising in Gwangju, Korea between May 18-27, 1980. Citizens and students protested against martial law imposed by the military regime. The military attacked protesters, leaving hundreds dead or injured. Despite the blockade, citizens self-governed without crime. The documents include government records, photos, testimonies, and medical records documenting the events and their impact. They are considered unique and irreplaceable records of the pro-democracy movement in Korea.
Global movement
This document provides information about various global protest movements in 2014. It discusses protests in Hong Kong where tens of thousands demonstrated against China's restrictions on democracy. It also summarizes unrest in Romania over poverty and unemployment, protests in Turkey over development plans and restrictions on freedom of expression, Israel's social justice movement against rising costs of living, and Bolivian protests against a highway being built through indigenous lands.
Proudfield - Leading the Viral Revolution
The document discusses several political and social revolutions throughout history from the 14th century Han Revolution to the modern Digital Social Revolution of the 1990s.

Remembering Tiananmen, 20 years later
This document summarizes the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing, China on June 4th, 1989 when Chinese military cracked down on student protesters, killing hundreds or thousands. It provides context of the months-long protests in 1989 centered around a desire for freedom and democracy. On the anniversary in 2009, there were increased security measures in Beijing while commemorations were held in Hong Kong with candlelight vigils attended by tens of thousands.
Tianamen square
Thousands of college students in Beijing and other Chinese cities gathered in Tiananmen Square in May 1989 to peacefully protest corruption in the government and demand democratic reforms. The government responded by sending tanks and police to clear the square, resulting in a massacre that killed many students who were beaten or run over. Two survivors of the massacre share their stories - one had his legs crushed by a tank and the other participated in the protests until she passed out from hunger. The anniversary of the massacre is still commemorated in China with protests and remembrances for those killed fighting for freedom and democracy.

Tiananmen square
- 1. Tiananmen Square By Ashley Bowen 3rd Period
- 2. Why we should care about this event? The Chinese people tried to gain Democracy in the Communist country. Also known as the "June Fourth verdict" had a significant impact on democratization in China. It was also a remarkable step towards ending impunity for human rights violations of the government. The cause was the Pro-democracy Movement that campaigned against corruption and for political reform in 1989.
- 3. What else Happened? May 1st - 135 acre Disney's MGM studio officially opens to the public on this day in history. May 11th - Kenya announces worldwide ban on ivory to preserve its elephant herds on this day in history.May 14th - Final TV episode of "Family Ties" airs on this day in history. May 23rd - An estimated one million people in Beijing (and tens of thousands in other Chinese cities) march to demand the resignation of Premier Li Peng on this day in history.
- 5. People involved and what they did Students from the Beijing University and possibly others led weeks of peaceful protest in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. They demanded political reform, an end to the Communist Party corruption and a government that was accountable to its people. These protests extended from Beijing and had an estimated 100 million people across China demostrate their support for politcal reform.
- 6. What happened? Students protested the topics that were going on in their country. Soldiers, reportedly, opened fire on the protesters even if it was a peaceful protest. They killed 400-800 and maybe even more. Tanks and foot soldiers were brought in to keep the peace but it soon turned deadly for the protesters.
- 9. Questions What happened on June 4th 1989? Why were they protesting the government?
