What happens when you combine a passion for the Civil War with the power of technology? In this episode of Teaching History Her Way, CherylAnne talks with Jim Beeghley, founder of TeachTheCivilWar.com, about how digital tools can transform the way students explore one of the most pivotal eras in American history.

Jim shares how he helps students not just learn about the Civil War but actively do history—digging into primary sources, maps, images, and artifacts through engaging digital platforms.

You’ll hear about:

• How technology can bring students closer to “doing history” instead of memorizing it
• Creative ways to use digital tools to make geography and troop movements come alive
• Strategies for teaching students to analyze Civil War-era photography and art using tech tools
• Practical tips for weaving digital history into your own classroom

Jim’s insights will give you fresh ideas to try with your students, whether you teach the Civil War or other areas of history!  Be sure to also visit his website at www.teachthecivilwar.com.
