I.
After a history course this semester, I've become fascinated with the French Revolution. Dietrich Bonhoffer, a prominent German philosopher, called the French Revolution the beginning on the decline of western civilization, the time when western man became disillusioned with himself. David A. Bell, writing in The First Total War: Napoleon's Europe and the Birth of Warfare as We Know It, argued "the modern era has unfolded in the shadow of the French Revolution. The growth of republics and liberal democracies, the spread of secularism, the development of modern ideologies and the invention of total war all mark their birth during the French Revolution." I had heard the argument that the Industrial Revolution was similar in consequence and wanted to explore the similarities between these two events. So, as much for my own learning as for my future students, I thought I'd put together my technofied lesson on this topic, the French Revolution.
I found an interesting lesson plan at PBS.org. A PDF version of the original lesson plan is available for download BY CLICKING HERE.

The side by side comparison of the original lesson plan and my revised version is available as a Word document BY CLICKING HERE.
III.
The stand alone revised lesson plan is available as a Word document BY CLICKING HERE.
IV.
A 500 word justification for technology application is available as a Word document BY CLICKING HERE.

A short video describing some of the tech features, as soon as it uploads, will follow.
