#sxswedu We shared a lot of resources with educators during our session @sxswedu. But #sxsw doesn’t have to end here! Use this QR code to access the resources we shared and connect with us here https://t.co/n0d6hzEY1c. Thanks to everyone who attended our session.

We hope everyone enjoyed our presentation at #sxswedu! Teachers are the qualified balancing act of teaching history and the firewall to the risks of bias/divisiveness students may encounter in their search for facts. We’ll keep creating + supporting teachers in this space! #sxsw

@ThinkKids @mjmesq Thanks for sharing, friends!

[Think:Kids @ThinkKids]

Talking to kids about the Jan 6 insurrection is a chance to increase empathy, trust, community, flexibility, efficacy for civic engagement, develop media literacy skills to & more. @mjmesq at @explanationkids offers 3 ways to support students’ learning: https://t.co/gYDhtdvgMC

[explanationkids @explanationkids]

Today we published best practices for educators and families on how to talk about the insurrection with kids. Discussing Jan 6 with kids can be productive and community-oriented when we rely on what we know, explore what we don’t know, and learn together. https://t.co/eqqOAOO8jQ

[explanationkids @explanationkids]

1yr ago, some kids witnessed a violent attack in our nation's Capital. We heard from heroic teachers about how their local media environment played a role in how their school discussed the Jan 6 insurrection. See link for stories and Q's for your class:
