ABOUT THE CONFERENCE ORGANIZER

The advent of digital technology challenges conventional ways of educating students and opens

unlimited opportunities to create and deliver digital educational materials. In this transition from the

analog era to the digital era, the World History Digital Education Foundation will lead at the K-12

level in the study of global history by:

• Creating innovative digital resources in world history education such as story maps, multi-

media curriculums, interactive websites, and virtual reality experiences.

• Developing one-to-one technology capability programs for high needs schools lacking the

financial capacity for digital educational technology and equipment.

• Training social studies teachers in the use of technology and engaging them to write new

curriculums and lesson plans.

• Developing a collaborative online community of educators who will share best practices in

social studies education.

• Educating students on the use of digital resources for research and learning.
