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 Our judges were enthusiastic about the historical content, the easy-to-use interface, and the motivating way in which the program models the historical research process.
