In this article, Kevin Kee introduces the website “The Cyber-Terrorism Crisis” by exploring how the present can hold “teachable moments” for learning about the past and how the past holds “teachable moments” for thinking about the present. In particular, Kee looks at the similarities between the War Measures Act of 1914 and the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 and by providing a historical overview of the use of the War Measures Act during World War I, World War II, and the October Crisis. He suggests that learning about one can provide insight into the other. Kee argues that the dispassionate “Public Issues Model” that is often used to debate controversial issues in school is inadequate for students in today’s society and that studying history can provide an alternative to this model by stressing multiple perspectives, the lack of a single “right” answer, and the development of reasoned judgements.  Kee concludes the article by stressing that when using a website like “The Cyber-Terrorism Crisis,” the student becomes an active learner within a network of ideas, people, and events across time and space, and that learning in this way is key for developing citizenship skills in today’s world.
