It’s become commonplace, and maybe even a little passé, to describe our own ongoing digital revolution as analogous the advent of Gutenberg’s printing press in the 15th century. Indeed, some points of comparison do continue to seem remarkably apt. Digital technology’s vocal cheerleaders seem all too ready to ignore the potential negative aspects of such improved communication technologies – like the inconvenient historical fact that totalitarian regimes have typically printed far more works of propaganda than they’ve destroyed in book burnings. Dictators figured out quickly that it’s far easier to drown out the voices of opposition than silence them. Pervasive misinformation can do far more damage. It is now possible to access information more easily than ever before and to disseminate message more widely than ever before.
Greater freedom brings with it greater responsibility. We now need experts in every field to exert their authority more powerfully than ever. Reason must lead. Functional democracies (even digital ones) still need organization and leaders. Otherwise we’re left with the chaos of a shouting match.
Having a voice is not the same as knowing how to participate a conversation. Access to information is not the same thing as knowing how to use it. But at least the technology is now available to us all.

This is what pays my bills. It's a 6-color Heidelberg SM Press. I'm standing up on top of it looking down.

4th/5th Grade Individual 2-Dimensional Display
On Saturday, March 9, 2013, over three hundred students from throughout the county participated in Sacramento County History Day at Inderkum High School. The winners in the six categories - 2-dimensional displays, exhibits, documentaries, performances, websites, and historical papers - will move on to the statewide competition this April in Sacramento (Woodlake Hotel). A list of the state qualifiers can be found here.
National History Day is a year-long educational program that encourages students to explore local, state, national, and world history. After selecting a historical topic that relates to an annual theme, students conduct extensive research by using libraries, archives, museums, and oral history interviews. They analyze and interpret their findings, draw conclusions about their topics' significance in history, and create final projects that present their work. These projects can be entered into a series of competitions, from the local to the national level, where they are evaluated by professional historians and educators.
Sacramento County History Day is sponsored by the Center for Sacramento History, the Sacramento History Foundation, and the Sacramento County Office of Education.
