Likewise, my teacher professional development projects are focused on getting history teachers to create interpretive history from primary materials, with their students. Both approaches are similar, and we have been exploring how to do this digitally, which this session really speaks to!

I created a blog for local history (very local, 2 counties in Virginia): www.locohistory.org. On it I include a gravestone of the week, architectural treasure hunts for kids, virtual tours (lame google videos with one hand holding a video camera and the other holding my dog's leash, but I had to begin somewhere), and short (under 400 word) blog posts on historic features and sites. I would love to hear other people's ideas on making local history interesting to the public, esp the K-12 audience. I’m very interested in this topic.

Some detail or characteristic (either 'standard' or student-generated) of artifact 1 relates it to artifact 2, etc. etc. Put all those details/characteristics together with the various ways they relate the objects, and you might have a nifty community mental map of a museum? Anna,

Kurt Squire, who teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has done something like you propose with his local games lab: http://lgl.gameslearningsociety.org/community.php. Anna,
