World War II, fought out on Facebook


It’s not exactly family safe, so I’ll link.  For a college class, I’d ask students to determine if the piece is accurate, and if not, what really happened.

What would it have looked like had World War II been fought with Facebook postings?

    Very clever. I like your idea of making students pick it apart, but it would also be interesting to get them to make similar posts about other historical events. It’s certainly a memorable way of summarising things!

    Well, now I understand it.

    Nice series on Texas and textbooks. You had slipped off the bottom of a list of blogs so it’s been a while.
