Course Overview: in October 1962, The long-simmering feud between the US and the USSR came to a head in the tiny-island nation of Cuba. Many historians argue that 
the Cuban Missile Crisis was both the closest the world ever came to 
nuclear war and the turning point of the Cold War. Thirteen Days, Three 
Views is an intensive three-day workshop that will examine and explore 
the Cuban Missile Crisis from a variety of national perspectives 
(American, Soviet and Cuban) and will also address foreign policy, 
politics, economics, history, culture, film studies and teaching with 
technology. The third day of the workshop will be completely devoted to 
technology training conducted by EdTechTeacher, although other 
pedagogical topics, including the use of primary sources and film in the
classroom, will also be discussed.
