The goal is to give college and high school teachers nationwide the opportunity to discuss teaching topics in U.S. history with a distinguished scholar, said Pennee Bender, multimedia producer for History Matters. The site also includes a large number of first-person historical documents for use in the classroom and a range of teaching resources, such as sample syllabi and assignments. It's such a good idea. Richard White of Stanford University will lead April's discussion on the American West. All of the messages are archived on the History Matters site.
