At Aragon High School in San Mateo, California, the history class is learning about the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. But instead of using an old fashioned talk and chalk approach, their teacher, Will Colglazier, is sharing documents so that students can compare information from sources including an article from the Washington Post, a recording of a meeting at the White House with President Kennedy, and a telegram from the Soviet Ambassador in the US to Moscow.

Memorising lists of historical facts and figures is increasingly a thing of the past, as teachers explore new ways of making history lessons more engaging.
