HIstory is not dead, it is present all around us. In this interactive research project, students choose an ordinary object, place, or person from their immediate surroundings, conduct research, and bring the past into the present. They publish their findings on a class webpage using QR CODES that they affix to the object, place or person in the real world. In this way the class curates a living history project which they can then share with the world and even extend into a community scavenger
