The past is everywhere around us, and teaching about the past is a
common trait of all societies. However, the choice of what past is
taught, and how, are complex decisions. These chapters argue for
the value of using the physical remains of the past. This evidence
is not commonly used in education for a range of reasons, including
lack of time and experience, so the introductory chapters show how
and where the historic environment can be used to fit into and
enhance learning. These guidelines are reinforced by case studies
from a wide cross section of the heritage sector that also prove
that physical heritage can not only be used to teach obvious
subjects such as history, but is also useful across the curriculum,
from literacy and numeracy to citizenship.
Explores the issues and the use of best practice interpretation principles in bringing the Roman world to life for visitors and educational users. Issues in the public presentation and interpretation of the archaeology of Hadrian's Wall and other frontiers of the Roman Empire are explored and addressed here. A central theme is the need for interpretation to be people-focussed, and for visitors to be engaged through narratives and approaches which help them connect with figures in the past: daily life, relationships, craft skills, communications, resonances with modern frontiers and modern issues allprovide means of helping an audience to connect, delivering a greater understanding, better visitor experiences, increased visiting and spend, and an enhanced awareness of the need to protect and conserve our heritage. Topics covered include re-enactment, virtual and physical reconstruction, multi-media, smartphones, interpretation planning and design; while new evidence from audience research is also presented to show how visitors respond to different strategies of engagement.
