The Most Read Book Among High School Seniors From Each State, in One Surprising Map Native Americans living in the Northeast, like Game of Thrones fans, knew one thing at this time of year: Winter is coming. As such, now was the time for one last glut of food before a four-month-at-least period of traveling along with migrating prey in order to hunt for fresh food. In that sense, yes, Native American harvest feasts are a clear primogenitor to today's Thanksgiving. But the truth is more complex. As Thanksgiving matured as a holiday in the Americas, many of the inhabitants in the United States — Native Americans, settlers and enslaved Africans — contributed elements of our modern Thanksgiving meal to the table. If Thanksgiving is an American tradition, then its roots are as varied and widespread as America, as well. He added, "And when you know and you understand that it becomes a lot harder to make pronouncements about people or even yourself when you understand how things really came to be." TWithout turkey, Thanksgiving would be a flightless bird.
1. Online Learning Today - eduMOOC: Online Learning Today... and Tomorrow We begin the week with an orientation to where online learning fits into higher education today. Online learning can be traced to the early days of computer assisted instruction.

Online learning as we recognize it today emerged shortly after the advent of the Web in the early 1990's. Live Presentation On Thursday, June 30, at 2:00 pm Eastern, 1:00 pm Central, noon Mountain; 11:00 am Pacific time in the U.S. - 7:00 pm London time, we will host a live Web conference on the weekly topic. Joining us for the session: Ray Schroeder, Moderator, Director, Center for Online Learning, Research and Service, University of Illinois Springfield Bob Hansen is the Chief Executive Office of the University Professional and Continuing Education Association.
