Two of my classes got into Cicero for the first time for a few minutes today, and they really enjoyed what they found there. I let them just explore for a while, and most of them were attracted to the 20th century stuff like the Cuban Missile Crisis and other 20th century history that they've heard of but never studied. A few of them were looking at pages related to our current unit of study, the early Federal period. We had lots of videos and songs playing at the same time, many photos were open, so the room got a little chaotic, but it was all in good "exploration mode". The best part was that they were asking me lots of questions about what they were looking at and I was able to tell them that the answers are in the support documents. It was great!
