In this workshop, participants will learn how the use of video testimony of survivors and other witnesses to genocide via a free, standards-aligned educational website, IWitness, (iwitness.usc.edu), can enhance teaching and learning in the social studies and history classroom by increasing students’ subject matter knowledge, cognitive, information and digital literacy skills, as well as expository literacy skills. Through hands-on learning opportunities, participants will experience how the first- person testimonies serve as powerful primary source material through an exploration of testimony, completion of sample activities and curricular planning opportunity. Middle/High School Level; BYOD (laptop, tablet, smartphone).
