Sister Stories Sister Stories, by Rosemary Joyce, Carolyn Guyer and Michael Joyce, is an anthropological hypertext "juxtaposing radically different voices" that explores Aztec history and culture. "Sister Stories is not an introduction to Aztec society. It deliberately invites you to read Nahuatl texts in English translation to arrive at your own sense of what these materials imply, evoke, hint at."
Internet resource. Quotations taken from the introduction, by Rosemary Joyce.

Multimedia and Multiple Intelligences Originally published in The American Prospect Volume 7, Issue 29 (1996) as part of the series "The New Media and Learning."

"The idea that there exists a singular perspective is surprisingly hard to change. In fact, too often the seductive idea that there is a "right" view leads students to readily embrace the perspective of any perceived authority — teacher, textbook, or "expert" — instead of realizing that students themselves need to weigh the evidence, evaluate sources, and come up with interpretations and justifications."
Internet resource. Quotation taken from the article, by Shirley Veenema and Howard Gardner. Copyright © 1996 by The American Prospect, Inc.
