TwHistory
Shared by Joyce Valenza on Twitter - Wow! Students can role play with this one...and need a library research visit for several days to pull it off.
I am talking about TwHistory: "virtual reenactments can increase engagement while providing opportunities for students to research personal journals and other primary source documents. In order to organize, study, and preserve these online reenactments we have created TwHistory.org."
See the Reenactment directory to get an idea of how this works.
This can even move your project beyond the classroom: "TwHistory projects have the potential to draw a large audience. Spectating Twitter followers often retweet favorite messages, drawing additional followers to the reenactment."
