The History of...

A few weeks ago, I set my first year minor specialists the challenge of researching the history of something that they were interested in. Wow. I was amazed by the presentations that were shared last Friday. We found out about everything from Vivienne Westwood to David Bowie, games consoles to emancipation. the history of the National Trust to a list of Liverpool firsts. It was incredible.

Part of the challenge was to use a range of sources and to not to rely too heavily on Google. Again, trainees did not dissapoint. They had used a range of sources in researching their particular area.

Stay tuned for the further adventures of my PED1013 group.

Mysteries of History

As you can probably tell, a good 'interesting fact' really catches my imagination. Aware that I'd not posted anything for a while, I was going to add another Mystery Object picture to the blog. Then I discovered this website.

Just the kind of thing that intrigues me.

Campus Cat has been on his adventures recently, I've not seen him for a week or so, I guess he must be checking these objects out!
