Video series explores place-based local history projects

2/21/2023

The video series, “Place Based Local History Projects,” examines how educators are using place-based history projects in the classroom. These projects help teachers engage students in the hands-on exploration of the history in their own communities. In addition to an overview of what place-based history projects are, the series highlights two projects from Ohio classrooms. The featured projects allowed students to discover missing pieces of Black history in their communities.

The video series was created by the Broadcast Educational Media Commission, the Department and WOUB Public Media as a part of the Multimedia Grant project.
