This document discusses the future of history teaching in the digital age. It addresses how big data and online resources are changing history education. It proposes that history teaching focus on developing historical literacy skills in students, including making historical representations, sharing stories, sorting through evidence, and listening to multiple narratives. Various strategies are suggested, such as using historical fiction, asking students to research and share migrant stories, and employing constructivist approaches that engage students in actively constructing meaning through making, recreating, and publishing their work.
