Palaver Tree Online takes this idea and moves it onto the Internet. It is a place that supports kids interviewing their elders to create a shared tapestry of oral history.
Kids read historical stories and brainstorm questions for elders based on what they have read.
Elders respond with their own stories, photos, and more. Kids use these responses to build PalaverStories, online artifacts that share history. For more on how this works, see our Software Overview . If you are interested in sharing your life stories with kids or having your class use Palaver Tree, visit the Registration area for more information. Feel free e-mail questions or comments.
