Description
15 Minute History is a podcast—with supplementary materials—about World and US history. This is a joint project of Hemispheres, the international outreach consortium at the University of Texas at Austin, and Not Even Past, a website with articles on a wide variety of historical issues, produced by the History Department at the University of Texas at Austin. This podcast series is devoted to short, accessible discussions of important topics in World History and US History. The discussions are conducted by the award winning faculty and graduate students at the University of Texas at Austin. Our topics are drawn from the World History and US History Standards—The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)—for K-12 social studies courses in Texas, and are tied to specific objective and goals set in the standards to help educators prepare their students for the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness, or STAAR exams. They are meant to be a resource for both teachers and students. But the podcasts can be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in History. On our Web site, you can find a transcript of each podcast, accompanied by documents and readings related to the topic for people who want to learn more about the topic, as well as alignments to the Texas and national educational standards for social studies.
