Join Eric Salmonsen, New Hampshire social studies teacher and host of the Everything is a Primary Source Podcast, to learn the benefits of audio production for you and your students, as well as ways you can integrate it into your classes right away.
The second part of the webinar is interactive! Take part in building an innovative, open-source digital resource by being a drop-in guest with YOUR History Through Pop Culture, aka "Podcast Karaoke." Simply locate a pop culture artifact from your collection (movie, tv show, record, toy, game, gadget, etc.) and be ready to discuss what it means to you and to history.

Eric P. Salmonsen has been teaching social studies in public high schools for the last 16 years and has encountered, addressed and resolved the many challenges the profession presents. After several school years teaching a wide scope of courses at Dover High School, Eric has innovated and refined a method of teaching called Everything is a Primary Source, or EPS for short. This inquiry-based style of social studies education calls for teachers and students to partner in investigating history while simultaneously reflecting on the process. As the name indicates, emphasis is placed on dissecting not only traditional primary sources that are obtained through the usual means of a social studies classroom, but identifying and scrutinizing items not usually considered as documents of the past, too.
Eric started The Everything is a Primary Source Podcast as an extension of the classroom where he and a long list of guests use the EPS method of primary source analysis to learn about history through popular culture. Many of the 100+ episodes were recorded live with guests pulled directly from the audience during "Podcast Karaoke" events at festivals, restaurants, museums and other venues. As the founder and advisor for his school's Podcasting Club, Eric has helped students create their own podcast by guiding them through the process of recording, publishing and distributing media in a streamlined way. These methods are currently evolving and merging to create a living digital archive and educational resource called The Everything is a Primary Source Project.

Americans today are immersed in a world of social media that distorts truth and blurs the lines of reality.

This webinar will provide participants with strategies for helping students understand and assess information presented on the internet with the goal of developing them into strong critical thinkers and good digital citizens.
