Mauldin High School Teacher Wes Dodgens Connects Students through Virtual Learning

On Thursday, September 26,  Mauldin High School Social Studies teacher Wes Dodgens and his WWII History students were able to listen and view an interactive virtual speaker, Dr. Lester Terry. (See photo above)

Dr. Terry was a survivor of the Bataan Death March during WWII and brought his survival story to Mauldin High School students from a video/audio link from the WWII Museum in New Orleans.  

Through the use of technology, Dodgens is providing to his WWII History class a chance to connect, listen, view, and experience a first-hand, powerful account of a significant historical event.
