Imagine a web site devoted to the history of Portland. The web site might resemble a time line. Click on a year and find information. The articles can be written by teachers, students, historians, any interested party or group.
Entire classes can contribute joint research projects.
Once information is compiled, it is there more or less permanently, for all of us to share. Our students can use the site to learn about Portland history for years to come. Best of all, the Internet is dyamic. A good high school research project can be posted on the web site. We can share articles and pictures from newspapers and magazines.
