Case Study:

The Democratic National Convention

On August 25 - 28 the Democratic National Convention comes to Denver's Pepsi Center. When History Happens is pleased to announce that we will have a select group of teachers and students inside the convention relaying information as it happens via text message. This information will then be transferred to our blog and wiki allowing the WHH community to become a part of the action.
