This is one topic that I'm considering for my project:
Students may find history books to be boring. Teachers can use webquest on some topics as additional materials from the textbook. Teachers could also use CD-ROM materials that includes content from the textbook, quiz, test materials, audio, and video clips.
Video clips could be hyperlinks to video clips from PBS.org or from Discovery Channel websites, provided that the students are connected to the internet. Students could be more motivated in using the CD-ROM than reading the textbook, assuming there are computers available at school and at home.
I would like to develop a CD-ROM for a subject in U.S. history. I just don't know which period in U.S. history.

Hi Nouldy,
Hope that the conversation we had was useful for you to narrow down your topic. It looked like you have already very ideas about your topic. Selecting on specific area, e.g. the history of radio and tv, for the development is a good idea.

Have you ever checked out Moodle? It's pretty cool, open source software that can be used on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. You can create a class and allow students to interact with each other. You can link to outside sources of info, basically update and change it often. You can set up wikis and add info, allow students to add info, sort of a constructivist approach I guess. Students construct there own knowledge framework. I went to a couple of workshops at the CUE conference and I only know enough to want to investigate further. It sounds like it might be of interest to you at this stage.
Hi Nouldy,
How has your thesis writing been going? Please share your progress with us.
Thanks,
Baek
