I had to do one in high school and it was one of the few assignments from high school that I remember well]]> 2022-03-23 21:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110584568 https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110586873 I am really excited about oral histories and love podcasts like StoryCorps but I have no idea how to teach it and have never seen anyone teach it. ]]> 2022-03-23 21:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110586873 https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110587179 I tend to associate oral history with museums - I'm wondering how to situate it in a unit in a way that is meaningful and does justice to the source ]]> 2022-03-23 21:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110587179 https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110590548 I tend to learn/experience most of my oral history through podcasts

It was fun and a LOT of work. So I would love to learn how to use ones in class.]]> 2022-03-23 21:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110590883 https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110592369 I loved doing oral histories in college and did a lot of research this way. Looking forward to integrating it into my classes next year!]]> 2022-03-23 21:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110592369 https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110592594 I'm excited to learn about oral history particularly as it pertains to teaching indigenous people's histories. Taught a lesson on O'odham Calendar Sticks last semester (October) and it was a mess!

We have thought about doing an oral history project in class but it has never panned out, I think because of students' varying access to people in their homes/neighborhoods]]> 2022-03-23 21:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110592944 https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110593240 In college one of our assignments was to conduct an oral history with someone who was 75 or older. I was able to interview my grandma and I learned a lot about her life. It is now really meaningful to have a document that discusses her early life. She was very excited to tell her story.]]> 2022-03-23 21:39:31 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110593240 https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110594336 I feel like oral history is super important to Jewish History. I grew up listening to oral histories from Holocaust survivors and even stories from my own family of escaping the pogroms in the 1880s. I really really love that when I was interning at the National Museum of American Jewish History they introduced an oral history station where anyone could go and answer questions and tell stories in front of a camera. The videos all get archived by the museum and can be viewed by visitors. It felt so poignant because it has always been a part of Jewish History to me.]]> 2022-03-23 21:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/kfoxtq7soxz8sizj/wish/2110594336
