What is a webography?
If you look the word up in the dictionary, you certainly will not find it! The first syllable refers to the World Wide Web, or the Internet as we know it. The second part of the word "-graphy" means the writing or representation in a specified manner or by a specified means. Therefore, webography, in this case, means the representation on the World Wide Web of an educational event (a seminar, a presentation, a workshop) that took place at a specific time for a specific small group in a way that permits all of us, as a wider audience, to share in and benefit from that event.
On November 4th, 1999, the Provincial Association of Social Studies Teachers and the History Task force were pleased to invite Christopher Culpin, Director of the Schools History Project at Trinity and All Saints College, UK, and Desmond Morton, Director of the McGill Centre for the Study of Canadian History, to discuss the topic Does History have a Future?
Professor Jon Bradley from the Faculty of Education at McGill University was invited to write the Introduction to the webography. In the Speakers section, you will find a text version of the guests' remarks, resource materials, and links to relevant sites. After the session, participants were asked to raise issues and question the speakers. You will find the questions and responses in the Issues section. In the Discussion section, we invite you to comment on what you have read and to share your thoughts on curricular reform and the teaching of History in Quebec.
