How would I use this in a school?
I would use this blog as an introduction to the Butte mines.  There is so much information that revolves around Butte that has effected Montana's history that I feel like it is a good idea to look into.  I would have the students look at the blog and write some facts down and then read a book on Butte.  Then they can go back to the blog to see what is missing from the blog.  There is a lot of history in the middle that is missing, like the race for senate, or for where Montana's capital will be.  They then can show what they would add to the blog to make it more complete.  They would have to add between 7 and 10 new events.
