Poll taxes, quite simply a tax to pay to vote, were enacted in the post-reconstruction era from the late 19th to the very early 20th century. But they remained in effect until the 1960s. #VoteHistory #archives https://t.co/3IDe4JH1up

Ever want to see #AnnieOakley in action? Thanks to @librarycongress you can see a film of her sharpshooting courtesy of Thomas Edison! I love the things Ss find with their #passionprojects. #sschat #primarysource #ushistory

Test days stress my kids, but they make me so happy. I get to see them surprise themselves with how much they actually know about the subject matter. Then I can share their #win with their parents. Happy hearts and huge smiles brighten test days. #bluejaystrong

@msjellman @socialstudiestx @MrNunesteach @inc_yv @MrsPateHistory @MrsC0achT @CLantrip I love @Flipgrid for showing the end product of a project. Ss do a video and can attach their work links to the video. Makes it easy to get to everyone. And hashtagging titles makes it easy to filter if Ss need to learn from others.

Looking at using this site for #virtual visits of a museum to help my Ss better experience life as a homesteader in the 1800s. https://t.co/Dh94a16O2F #edtech #sschat #ushistory

It may not seem like much, but being able to trash my sticky notes is a big deal. Each is a mark of victory over the chaos. Too bad some of them are now electronic and not so photogenic! #bluejaystrong #teacherlife

A great way to kick off your holiday shopping is purchasing a gift from our Christmas Catalog in honor of a loved one. #GiveHope https://t.co/A4USfd9lxN

Loving the @BullockMuseum resources! The way they share their #artifacts is wonderful and straightforward! Also enjoyed the Campfire stories resource that showcases the different groups who developed Texas. #sschat #museumlove #virtualmuseum #ushistory

Exploring #primarysource photos to get a better understanding of the struggles of the #GildedAge in America. One of my favorite lessons of the year! #bluejaystrong #sschat #apictureisworthathousandwords

TAX POLICY TUESDAY—Serving as a State Representative involved in fiscal oversight (the spending of your tax dollars), I’m more convinced than ever that citizens must ‘come to terms’ with sound tax policy. You should know what I believe regarding this issue.

Gather round boys and girls. It’s time for another Bedtime Buckaroos. Tonight's story is "Grandmother Spider Brings the Sun: A Cherokee Story" written by Geri Keams. https://t.co/43FqXh2XvI What better way to end Indigenous Peoples' Day. #HashtagTheCowboy Thanks, Tim

This is important. 🧡

Thought-provoking resource I discovered today. Another example of following rabbit trails to something awesome. https://t.co/TmJgQreuba #sschat #geochat

What's something in education that you hadn't considered, but when someone told you about it, it was immediately obvious how brilliant it was?
