Abstract

History in a Box is a technology-driven, team-based blended-learning activity that fosters multigenerational/family-based learning. The premise of the activity is to encourage historical thinking and teach historical reasoning by placing participants in the position of researchers as they investigate an important battle of the Irish 1916 Rising, The Battle of Mount Street Bridge. Utilizing a sophisticated tablet-based interface, participants become active generators of knowledge by looking at primary source material, evaluating conflicting sources, and forming new interpretations. This chapter discusses the design principles of the project and presents our findings from family-based events in the context of socially engaged research.
