Q2. Do you have students start their research with a specific exercise or type of source? What? #NHDCHAT https://t.co/enH47ad2Gv

EPatchak - Moderator Nov 1 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A2 Online Encyclopedia Article giving overview of a source OR a non-fiction children's book of source. Easy but gets ideas rolling #NHDCHAT

Allen20Jc Nov 1 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A2 Ideally secondary sources to start with to get a general overview #NHDCHAT

Chucktaft Nov 1 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1 #NHDchat Chuck from Milrockee - on year #11 for NHD

Chucktaft Nov 1 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2 #nhdchat We talk about primary sources right away - always shoot for the best possible primary source

EPatchak - Moderator Nov 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@Chucktaft Good point. Do you find they have enough background knowledge to make sense of it right away? #NHDCHAT

EPatchak - Moderator Nov 1 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q3. What is your number one recommended database to send students to for early research? #NHDCHAT https://t.co/f7zu2FjaAr

EPatchak - Moderator Nov 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A3 Gale World History & Ebsco Host, a little tricky to navigate at first, but sorts by source type to find well balanced research. #NHDCHAT

Allen20Jc Nov 1 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 I will have to agree with Erin on this one #NHDCHAT

EPatchak - Moderator Nov 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Q4. Do you have any fun tips or activities for teaching the citation process to first timers? #NHDCHAT https://t.co/4BaqZfdsaA

EPatchak - Moderator Nov 1 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Q5. What would be your nominee for best online archival collection for students to locate primary sources? #NHDCHAT

Chucktaft Nov 1 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A3 #NHDChat any broad database - we have used Gale @galecengage this year and are pleased

Chucktaft Nov 1 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4 #NHDchat - nothing really fun about the citation process - it's a labor of research love

Chucktaft Nov 1 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5 #NHDchat we use LOC, Historical NYT (great because you can use new articles as images)

Chucktaft Nov 1 @ 9:43 PM EDT

EPatchak - Moderator Nov 1 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7 YAY, but NOT until ground work laid. Must prove have exhausted resources available. Ss get really excited by contacts made. #NHDCHAT

Chucktaft Nov 1 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7 #NHDchat our WHS leader cautions use of interviews - I like having kids do them, simply because they are hard to do, increase enthusiasm

EPatchak - Moderator Nov 1 @ 9:56 PM EDT
