For a better understanding of WWII and the events at Pearl Harbor, check out the resources listed to the left. They are generally organized for elementary and secondary students and include literature, magazine and technology resources. Also access resources included in our Videos and Multimedia section. (If you find other appropriate resources to share please post them to this wiki.)
Students from around Oklahoma participated in a live, interactive videoconference on December 6, 2007, with Pearl Harbor survivors and others FROM Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This 45 minute videoconference is archived and available to watch in three different segments. Before viewing this videoconference with students, have them explore and use other resources on our website to develop a working knowledge of WWII and the events at Pearl Harbor. (The more students know before they view the archived videoconference, the more they will benefit from this archived, interactive event.)
Another great resource is the Ken Burns' War series featured on Oklahoma's PBS affiliate OETA-TV. Recently The Oklahoman, NewsOK and OETA partnered to create a special website to document and share the experiences of Oklahomans during World War II. Of special interest is the Dec. 7th dedication of the U.S.S. Oklahoma Memorial at Pearl Harbor. Crews from OETA and The Oklahoman will be onsite to document that ceremony and capture stories of some of the survivors of the "day that lives in infamy."
This wiki and the World War II website support the goal of empowering students and teachers to be part of history by becoming local oral history archivists through participation in the Oklahoma Digital Centennial Project and the Oklahoma WWII Stories project by recording and sharing digital stories about Oklahoman veterans.
