Teacher Conference
I attended a professional development conference about the Holocaust. This conference featured a tutorial on how to use the IWitness website. This website contains video testimonials from Holocaust survivors (ISTE Standard 4: c, d). The conference also featured a speech by a current member from the community who had survived the Holocaust, Bill Kugelman. I hope to utilize the knowledge gained from this conference to inform my unit on WWII and the Holocaust (InTASC Standard 9: n). I feel that I have an obligation to teach my students about the horrors of the Holocaust. I also feel that these first hand oral stories need to be told and expressed to the younger generation.
