New: WE NEED TO RETHINK HOW WE TEACH RESEARCH.

In a world full of misinformation, teaching research isn’t just about completing an assignment. It’s about helping students become independent investigators, writes @CurtisChandler6 @ncte @NCSSNetwork

The end of class can be as impactful as the beginning. Here are 8 class closure activities to help you wrap up your lessons effectively. 🙌

@BethKinn1 @appodlachia Do you have a source for this? I’ve never heard of that and I live in Kentucky.

[April Watkins @MsAprilWatkins]

Something tells me his wife won’t like Washington DC.

Have to think Dan Hurley is the first call for the Democratic Party to replace Joe Biden

Still thinking about @chrisemdin and his “Pentecostal Pedagogy.” Thank you for setting my educator heart on fire yesterday! 🔥

“Education is not memorization. It is the activation of the imagination and a path towards liberation.” 🙌

Had the best time studying Kentucky’s 1861 secession decision at the Old State Capitol in Frankfort courtesy of @TeachAmHistory this weekend! Who doesn’t love a good rock paper scissors duel? 🪨📄✂️

This moment. Taps. 103 year old N Texan Vernon Mitchell, among the group of 68 WW2 heroes paying tribute to the fallen on Omaha beach today. Seeing it all through his eyes, his grandson Adam. Living history. #Normandy #DDay80

[April Watkins @MsAprilWatkins]

These are great! @BrandyLHoward

[April Watkins @MsAprilWatkins]

So similar to my own grandfather’s story. He landed at Utah beach a little over a month after D-Day, and fought across France & Germany before being wounded in Berlin on April 21, 1945.

[Bob Reid @rhreid]

WW2 vet Walter Stitt waits his turn to board a bus from Paris to Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Stitt, a tank soldier, landed at Omaha Beach a month after D-Day and fought across France and Germany, wounded twice in combat. ⁦

[April Watkins @MsAprilWatkins]

This is incredible.

Here at @DFWAirport where @AmericanAir is flying several World War II veterans to France on a specially-chartered 787 Dreamliner.

The oldest onboard is 107-years-old.

You spend hours marking and commenting on student work, and then they don't even read your feedback. The solution is all in how you time it.
