Trapped in History

This is a podcast with two teachers attempting to provide an exciting form of education for our students. Both of us are highly influenced by the Socratic Method, discussion/debate techniques, and promoting logical, rational thinking in social studies. Our goal is to make our students think and to prepare them for their lives after high school.

This is a podcast that will help our World Civilization and AP European History classes at Logan County High School.
