Videoconferencing
Bridging the Gap is a program that utilizes videoconferencing technology to connect disciplines, generations, communities and experiences.  Bridging the Gap integrates a literature-based curriculum, "Testimony to the Truth," which provides students and educators with a rich, engaging and dynamic video-conferencing experience.  Through this program, students interact with Holocaust survivors one on one and have access to primary source information. Bridging the Gap stimulates students in the areas of critical thinking skills, historical analysis, and independent inquiry to facilitate their own learning, enhance actual knowledge, and foster their interest in and understanding of history and current events.
