Making History Engaging

Judas Iscariots

How the fuck is this guy earning this much

Ok

Yes, they have lots of sources, but how many of them are a fraction of Extra History's accessibility, liveliness, and brevity? Not enough, I suspect. And Extra History is only planning an occasional 'greatest hits' foray.

Don't students given assignment topics on Napoleon or Washington already have a tidal wave of resources to rely on. It's the minority of students given less common assignments like Hiawatha or Simón Bolívar that need help.

Happy Holidays, James! And thanks for all your team's hard work. My husband and I (old fart history buffs) discovered your channel this fall and love it! We're learning a lot.

Definitely Alexander ~ I was so Disappointed he didn't get in the first time he was in the survey.

Luca Brunacci

You should do an episode about Norman Sicily and Robert Guiscard since it is unknown to most people since they mainly look at Normandy or England when you say the word "Norman"

For Great leaders I think you should do Cyrus the Great or Charlame or Alexander the great

I think you guys should do a episode on the fall of Hong Kong in ww2 because it happened during christmas

I was never interested in history until I saw Connections. Then I was fascinated with it, or at least tech history.

For the Great Leaders Survey I'd Suggest Ramesses II or maybe Epaminondas of Thebes.

As I history teacher who tries to use these videos in class whenever possible, I can't agree with the sentiment more. History is supposed to be fun and interesting. People should be excited to hear about such interesting stories and fascinating people. Memorizing dates and places doesn't make history better, or the people studying it. Keep up the good work and please keep making series that I can use.

Thank you for making an epic series. I just stumbled upon it and started binge watching everything that caught my eye. It's an incredible show and I love it and you guys.

Merry Christmas, James. Y'all mean a lot to us. From education to pure entertainment, there are a lot of reasons we support... regardless it's always going to be because we love the content and believe in it's creators. Thank you for putting out content we're happy to back.

I love stories like this. Thank you for spreading the word. You can always tell any teachers that they are 100% welcome to use anything we put up! -James Portnow

Just wanted to let you know that your current work is helping educators. My son told me his social studies class was learning about the Ghana and Mali Empires. I told his teacher about your series on Mali. He was so excited because he could not find good teaching tools for his class. Keep up the good work!

Good luck!))

I'm glad we can help, Extra History is my favorite part of your channel and, now that I have the money to pay, I'm more than happy to donate
