Technology & Learning Magazine
Award of Excellence, Dec 2003
"Exploring
the World of Thomas Day focuses on the life and work of a free African
American furniture maker living in the South shortly before the U.S.
Civil War. This two-CD package features video-based enactments of Thomas
Day’s life and puzzle-like missions that challenge students to explore an
interactive map with buildings containing clues in the form of primary
documents, newspaper articles, ads, and interviews.
Our judges were
enthusiastic about the historical content, the easy-to-use interface,
and the motivating way in which the program models the historical
research process."
