While watching the latest episode of History Detectives, we saw a promotion for a new classroom game from the History Detectives called HDlab. The idea is to log on, select a mystery, search archives for missing evidence, interview witnesses, and solve the investigation. One example they provided was a teenage guy who was investigating a letter about the San Francisco Giants signing Willie Mays. The clip showed that he got to meet Willie Mays himself and asked him questions about signing for the Giants and his experiences.
Now the geek in me thinks this is very cool. I would've loved to do something like this when I was a teenager. Heck, I would love to do it now. It's my liberal arts education rearing up again.
