@kcgilman Might be a great way to promote some personal volunteer opportunities for them! #sschat

@jasonlknoll Love a great local resource! #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

@classroomtools @loc Fantastic! #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

@CHitch94 @librarycongress Such a great resource! Thank you for sharing #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

A6 There are so many excellent digital history resources, but our new favorite is https://t.co/rXt2w4Hn9n. The project aims to share the stories of Black people who have contributed to Fort Monroe's history, 1619 to the present, with community archives and oral histories! #sschat

[The SSChat Network @SSChatNetwork]

Q6 In recent years, digital humanities projects like the LOC Veteran’s Project have illustrated how increasing access to digital resources including oral histories democratizes history and civic education. What are some of your favorite digital humanities resources?? #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

@classroomtools Absolutely. We definitely have to always be cognizant of our audience and students as we guide them through historical research. Thank you! #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

@kcgilman Another great point. Thank you for sharing another option with your students. #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

@Owl_b_TorresEdu @USNatArchives Thank you for sharing! A great resource for our students to learn and maybe help their own adults on their research journey! #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

@JourneysinFilm Thanks for reminding us of this! But even with challenges, it can also be uplifting for students with ancestry that has been undocumented and under-prioritized to learn techniques that can aid in their search! #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

@JourneysinFilm A great perspective. Thank you! #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

@kcgilman 100%! Narratives of the past have been so dominated by one perspective and desperately need to shift. We’re working hard to bring all those narratives into view #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

A5 What better way to develop your own sense of identity than to understand where and who you came from? Knowing your ancestry can help you understand where you're going! https://t.co/rXt2w4Hn9n will help those whose ancestry is harder to trace due to systemic racism. #sschat

[The SSChat Network @SSChatNetwork]

Q5 How might genealogy help students develop a sense of self? What are some advantages and barriers? #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

@classroomtools Such a fantastic example, thank you! #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

@historyed Such a great resource. Thank you for sharing #sschat

[Fort Monroe Education @FtMonroeducate]

@CHitch94 They're also a wonderful opportunity to hear how something impacted an individual or the significance of an event to an individual! That is powerful! #sschat
