NYSHD Goes High-Tech!

The staff at New York State History Day has been dabbling in the vast world of internet technology. We would like to share some of the new resources we have developed to share History Day information. We have you have as much fun checking them out as we have creating them!

YouTube
Check out our YouTube page at: http://www.youtube.com/NYSHD . This site is dedicated to sharing examples of National History Day projects from the State of New York. We will also be posting informational videos about our program and offering you things to watch just for fun, including fun photo documentaries from the 2007 state and national contests.

That History Day Guy Blog
That History Day Guy has created his very own internet blog. In his own words, it is a place that "will be filled with the Empire State's program progress, links to great resources, and hopefuly empirecasts. This will be my version of audio updates for the New York State History Day." Check out his latest and archived entries at: http://historydayguy.wordpress.com/

Facebook
Do you Facebook? If so, join our New York State History Day group! It is a place where we will share information, get feedback on some of our pressing questions, share fun stories, and generally have a good time. Have a research or project question? Post it on the discussion board for feedback from the whole group. The group is open to students, parents, teachers, friends, and alum of New York State History Day. We look forward to seeing you at: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2377124651 . (NOTE: You must have a Facebook account to see the group. You can register for a free account at www.facebook.com.) For safety reasons, you have to apply to join our group and we must approve you as a member, but we promise to do that quickly.

Coming soon: We are going to create our own online shop at www.CafePress.com for New York State History Day merchandise. We may even publish some of our student, teacher, and parent resources on the site. We are currently accepting design ideas for t-shirts, mugs, and buttons. They can be funny, sentimental, or serious, but they all must be related to History Day and/or New York State History. Have an idea? Email it to nyshistoryday@nysha.org .
