History teacher working internationally hoping to use twitter to share good practice and keep up to date with educational developments.

I dont think anyone would have appreciated every single lesson/PPT/document being shared via email so I’ve submitted details on how to access our entire bank of resources for KS3 for free.

I have had the pleasure to read & write the foreword to this new book: An infographic history of Germany 1918-45 by @thelibrarian6 & @prohistoricman

Absolutley brilliant book ... historically rich & visually stunning! #historyteacher #TMHistoryIcons #TeachUAEchat #UKEdchat

[Kate Stockings @kate_stockings]

Have been wanting to use this idea for ages- to force Y13 to engage with their reading & it worked wonders! Thanks to all those who have shared the idea- a #historyteacher originally I believe! #geographyteacher #worldgeochat 📚

Forgot how much I (and the students) love this game. Just introduced CIE Population topic to my new Y12 students. Unfortunately, difficult to get the right colour jelly babies in Thailand so we had to make do with M&Ms. Thanks to @gatwUpdates

@MsSamGeography I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:

Maps reveal hidden truths of the world's cities - https://t.co/8Lo2TTOi7T

I like having the option to write or speak. https://t.co/nQqtkle2SM

[J Jenkins @JJJHistory]

@VersusHistory Great, thanks!

Now students can make their own Kahoot! Quizzes in the mobile app! https://t.co/DH7Xyv67wk

Interestingly, most students believed keeping up morale was more important than freedom of speech so censorship was justified.

[J Jenkins @JJJHistory]

Students finished censoring each other's letters today. There wasn't much left from some! One colour means they would definitely censor it and the other means they're not sure.

[J Jenkins @JJJHistory]

Ouch! https://t.co/RR0UD9ITwp

So Bolton's moustache turns out to be directly descended from Neville Chamberlain's

It would make so much more sense if this cover was a joke, but unfortunately not. Is that the loch ness monster in the top right?! https://t.co/gmBTgjye1H

[J Jenkins @JJJHistory]

Writing trench diaries today then students will be turned into the role of censors next lesson (unaware of this). Censoring classmates work with highlighters should elicit some good discussion of fairness of policy #historyteacher

[J Jenkins @JJJHistory]

One of the most fascinating and horrific books I've read. Thoroughly recommended, despite the nightmares... #historyteacher #napoleon

[J Jenkins @JJJHistory]

Although as the article says: None of this lessens the very real hardship endured by Cherokees and other Native Americans compelled to abandon their homelands as a result of the Indian Removal Act.

[J Jenkins @JJJHistory]

Interesting read about facing up to difficult history. For museum curator Paul Chaat Smith (Comanche)... it is imperative to provide the museum-going public with an unflinching history, even when doing so is painful.

Great for incorporating aspects of numeracy into History... #historyteacher https://t.co/bzJQsmAvbq
