Incorporating Information and Communication Technology tools into the teaching and learning of history has become a common practice worldwide. It is no longer a question of if, but of how to introduce it in the classroom in order to make history education more effective and enjoyable. This book gathers the experiences and reflections of researchers from three continents, based on their own activities and on empirical studies. The contributions concentrate on videogames related to the past, history e-textbooks, and applications for mobile devices with historical content. Some texts deal explici

Textbooks as Propaganda analyses post-Second World War Polish school textbooks to show that Communist indoctrination started right from the first grade. This indoctrination intensified as students grew older, but its general themes and major ideas were consistent regardless of the age of the readers and the discipline covered. These textbooks promoted the new, post-war Poland's boundaries, its alliance and friendship with the Soviet Union, and communist ideology and its implementation within the countries of the Soviet bloc. Through a thorough analysis of nearly a thousand archival textbooks, Joanna Wojdon explores the ways in which propaganda was incorporated into each school subject, including mathematics, science, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, history, Polish language instruction, foreign language instruction, art education, music, civic education, defense training, physical education and practical technical training. Wojdon also traces the extent of the propaganda, examining its rise and eventual decrease in textbooks as the totalitarian state began its decline--back cover.

The 2012 conference of the International Society for History Didactics in Kazan was organized in cooperation with Centre of History and Theory of National Education, Institute of History under the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences thanks to the efforts of Marat Gibatdinov. Most articles in this volume are based on the papers presented there. They analyze different aspects of cultural and religious diversity and its impact on history education – one of the core topics in contemporary history didactics, but also in the public debate. Other articles (published in the ‘Varia' section), originate from the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union ‘EHISTO – European history crossroads as pathways to intercultural and media education'. ‘Yearbook – Jahrbuch – Annales' presents current research, and the results of projects related to history didactics. As Susanne Popp, the previous editor of the journal, was elected president of the ISHD in 2011, Joanna Wojdon (from the University of Wroclaw, Poland) took the position of the managing editor. Terry Haydn (University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK) became a language editor. It makes the journal even more international than before. All the articles accepted for publication underwent rigorous double-blind peer-review process. This is the result of our continuous desire to strengthen the academic position of ‘Yearbook – Jahrbuch – Annales', facilitate its recognition as a scholarly journal in the countries of our members (and eventually also Europe- and worldwide) and to open it for readers and contributors from outside of our Society. Different communication channels have been used to promote the call for contributions, including the H-Net platform and the new website of the International Society for History Didactics: www.ishd.co.

Developing historical thinking is becoming an overarching goal of history education, at least on the declarative level. The concept is not new and has been developed for many years in various national and international contexts. However, its scope and contents, and especially the methods of transferring it onto everyday school practice still remain work in progress for they involve major re-structuring of traditional ways of teaching. In this case, modernizing history education is not about incorporating new technologies but rather about developing new approaches to any and all resources used in the classroom and issues discussed in the process of history education. Some of the papers in this issue of JHEC address the issues posed by the use of films, museums, writing, and the introduction of local and regional history in history education.Starting from this year, JHEC launches its new section devoted to book reviews. It discusses publications related to history didactics and all aspects of historical culture and history education in the past and present, published in the recent years in the English language.
