E-Resource Feature Focus: History

I think that this type of learning is much better than just memorizing the facts. If one only memorize the facts because of marks, he or she would be probably bored of memorizing after a while unless that person find any interesting facts that he or she would be interested in looking for more information on that particular fact. However, in this case, one is not being forced to memorize facts because it is being tested or marks were being allocated to that particular topic. Contradictory, one is just reading casually about the history of countries and therefore, one would most probably find interest in doing this type of reading as there are no marks allocated so there would be no stress and one also would benefit from it as he or she would learn more about the history and would look for more information himself.

However, as this website does not cite external sources of information and is single-handedly maintained by Russell Tarr, the Head of History at the International School of Toulouse, therefore, students are needed to exercise their good judgment when referring to these resources. Most students might think that this is very troublesome. However, through exercising good judgments, they would also develop critical thinking skills, which would help them in answering inference questions in Integrated Humanities. Therefore, I think that learning like this is much efficient than learning in the school as this is active learning but in school, most of the time we would only memorize facts.
