Announcement from H-World: Bridging World History

Below is an announcement from H-World, which may be of interest to some members of the class.  The list will be running a forum/discussion on a new website.   Of particular interest for us, is the fact that Matthew Guterl (of IU) is involved in the project.

I do not know if H-World will allow non-members to post responses, but you can view the discussion (as a non-member) by going to their daily discussion logs.  Go to:

https://www.h-net.org/~world/

Then click on Discussion Logs (in the left hand column) and select the current month from the drop down menu.

Here is the message!

Our third Author's Forum is set to begin on Monday, February 12th and
continue until February 19th.  This year's forum will examine Bridging World
History, an internet resource for world history classes.  The URL for
Bridging World History (BWH) is:
http://www.learner.org/channel/courses/worldhistory/   Please have a look at
the BWH website and offer your perceptions on the site's usefulness for
world historians during the course of this year's H-World forum.

Just a note on process: Initial commentaries on BWH will be posted on
Monday, February 12, then the site's originators will post their comments on
Tuesday, and the forum will open on Wednesday for a dedicated discussion on
Bridging World History (BWH) which will continue until February 19th.  We
hope this opportunity to review and discuss a valuable world history
resource will be a productive exercise for all of us.  Thank you.
