==This article demonstrates how students can build collaborative oral history projects through digital communication tools. It explains the change from an old way of teaching to a incorporating new media into the curriculum, ultimately enabling students to learn more about the new media technologies as well as communication and how they can affect the world around them. ==

Argument
==Benmayor argues that new-media sources is a great way to add to the learning and development of a group of students. It enables students to learn dedication and teamwork as their work is being displayed publically. But, she also argues that only developing skills of new-media is not a well-rounded education and will not serve well in her classroom for oral history. ==

==“My encounter with “new media” led me to rethink and restructure my approach to teaching oral history.(83)” == ==“From the outset, let me say that while I am exploring the use of new media for teaching oral history, I remain critical about where and when new technologies should be used and about what value they can add to the learning process. (84)” == ==“Digital technology enables the construction of rich virtual archival sites that cluster primary documents, original and translated texts, complete and edited versions, secondary resources visuals, sound, competing critical analysis, and lengthy bibliographies. (91)” ==
