What a great way to celebrate the creativity of @sbes_bobcats teachers using @Starbucks as a way to enhance student learning! I know Renae had a great time connecting with students & staff and sharing some treats.

[Melinda Fortner @MelindaFortner]

Yesterday was the character reveal for @DCcougarnation @APHistPhil dual enrollment U.S. History class to prepare for our Frederick Douglass @ReactingTTPast game. Students will analyze primary sources and debate each other (in character). #EPSOweek2021 @DLWeeks83 @DCS_TN

Learning about interpersonal communication and conflict management through role playing exercises and self-assessments in @DCcougarnation SDC Speech Communication today (another class option to potentially earn college credit). #EPSOweek2021 @DLWeeks83 @DCS_TN

[Blake Jones @BlakeWJones]

Some brave volunteers @DCcougarnation helping demonstrate classical conditioning concepts in SDC Psychology, a class students can take to try to earn college credit at public TN institutions in introductory psychology. #EPSOweek2021 @DLWeeks83 @DCS_TN

@ProRoMo @CarterLibrary @WhiteHouse @Marvel Indeed. I was going to ask if we could order prints of this!

A lot of great hacks for our virtual world!

[Sam Wineburg @samwineburg]

Some teacher friends issued a challenge: Come up with 1-pager (no tiny type either!) that helps them & their students make better decisions on the web. Hope it's useful! https://t.co/wQ2hGsBFff

[Blake Jones @BlakeWJones]

It was an intense day wrapping up debate in the @ReactingTTPast trial of Anne Hutchinson. These @DCcougarnation @APHistPhil dual enrollment students did a fantastic job immersing themselves in the world of 17th century Puritans. Thanks for coming by @JessicaJleem2! #GoTheDistance

[Jessica Alberson @JessicaAlberson]

Students did a great job with presenting speeches and answering questions for “General Court” today. What a creative, exciting teaching strategy in U.S. History (dual enrollment) this morning! 🧡💙🧡💙 @BlakeWJones @DCcougarnation

[Dickson County High School @DCcougarnation]

[Benjamin Park @BenjaminEPark]

Okay, so you've watched the #HamiltonFilm, and want to celebrate #FourthofJuly by digging deeper into America's founding. Here are some recommendations for books that not only cover key themes and topics from the play, but are also very engaging and approachable. /1

[Dr. Joanne Freeman (@jbf1755 on lots o’ platforms) @jbf1755]

Tomorrow #HATM (Historians at the Movies) will watch #Hamilfilm at 7:00PM EST-- w/the "real" folks leading the viewing--its creators.

I'll be leading the history-tweet parade.

We'll use hashtags #HATM & #hamilfilm or #HamiltonFilm--whichever the powers that be choose.

Join us!

Several of my @DCcougarnation dual enrollment U.S. history students have contributed to this archive. What a great way to think about what constitutes the raw materials of history. #seizetheday

[JOTPY: Covid-19 Archive @covid19archive1]

Today's Featured Content: On March 13, Dr. Catherine O'Donnell emailed colleagues with an idea-- A public history archive documenting people's experiences with COVID-19. To learn more about the archive & see the email, visit the website! #JOTPY #COVID19 https://t.co/oCewhz7So2

Listening to webinar on new edition of @OpenStax psychology textbook to prepare for next year’s @DCcougarnation @DCS_TN statewide dual credit psychology classes. #seizetheday #PDatHome

[Blake Jones @BlakeWJones]

In a time of a complex science & policy crisis, information literacy is a must. @SHEG_Stanford & @TheCrashCourse have developed tools to help students (& adults) evaluate sources of information. @DCcougarnation & all @DCS_TN students should check it out! #seizetheday #LearnAtHome

[Digital Inquiry Group @InquiryGroup]

We’re all spending *a lot* of time online. Unfortunately, misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda flourish here. Want research-based strategies for navigating digital content? Check out the @TheCrashCourse series we developed with @JohnGreen. 1/8
