FIRST WEB CLASS ON THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE LAUNCHED: WWW.LEARNGENOCIDE.COM
*
San Francisco, CA, January 10, 2007 - The Genocide Education Project has
launched Genocide and the Human Voice: Nicole's Journey, the first
online classroom about the Armenian Genocide.
*
Genocide and the Human Voice: Nicole's Journey uses contemporary
learning technology and methodologies to provide a stand-alone lesson
students attend online.* Recognizing the limited amount of class-time
school teachers have compared to the many important and required topics
they must address, The Genocide Education Project created an opportunity
for high school teachers to introduce their students to the history of
the Armenian Genocide, without having to devote full class time to it.
This Internet lesson fulfills the World History curriculum requirements
of the 11 U.S. states which currently require instruction on this
important history.** The online class is also designed to be used as
supplemental coursework for curriculum on Armenian Genocide.
*
"This online lesson brings the first genocide of the 20th century into
the education system of the 21st century," stated Sara Cohan, Education
Director.* "We believe that the more we make up-to-date, quality
educational options available to teachers, the more they will choose to
include the Armenian Genocide in their course curriculum."
*
Through the voice of Dr. Nicole Vartanian, Genocide and the Human Voice:
Nicole's Journey provides a background to the history of the Armenian
Genocide and the effects genocide denial on subsequent generations.
Based on Nicole's real life journey to her grandmother's village in
Eastern Turkey, the lesson illustrates the continued pain that genocide
brings and the fortitude of those searching for truth.* After an
introduction to the history of the Armenian Genocide and Nicole's
grandmother's moving story of survival, the lesson walks students
through a series of emails that Nicole sent her mother describing her
many observations and thoughts as she undertook her journey.
