Smart Phones on the battlefields of Gettysburg!

Technology on the Freedom Tour took on another first this morning on the Battlefield at Gettysburg. We set up a Google Voice account with a prompt for the kids to react to or reflect on their experience's. On the very same field that Robert E Lee ordered the final Confederate charge on the Union, our guides talked to us about the leadership qualities of the Generals who commanded their troops. 
The reflection question? 
'Whether a teacher, parent, coach, friend or even within yourself, an effective leader motivates and inspires. When you lead, how do you motivate and / or inspire others? Their responses were then called  to a Google Voice account.  Many of these will be available through our Freedom Tour Blog for you to listen to. It was a great exercise and we plan to use this again during our visit to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
