It’s zombie Kennedy. Fortunately for us, it’s John, not Teddy.
The JFK Library is recreating JFK’s campaign through tweets as though they were written on the trail on @Kennedy1960. If you enjoy history, politics, or just innovative uses of social media for teaching, you should follow it.
I have to say, this is one of the best uses of Twitter I’ve seen for an organization like this. It’s a very different way to bring history alive, and a great way to celebrate an anniversary that most people would understandably forget.
What about recreating the War of Independence? We’re just a few days past April 19.
There’s nothing stopping you from starting it. The handle @AmRev1776 is still available.
My favorite was last year when NASA streamed the Apollo 11 moon mission audio in real time (+40 years) and had a web site showing where they were and other associated stuff. I had the audio stream running in the background as I went about my daily business. The routine stuff fascinated me.
