I am a CSU student studying history and education, and my hope is to teach middle school social studies.

I'm curious on some interesting ways to use human library in a social studies classroom. If anyone has some useful links or advice let me know!!

Hi educators I just wanted to share an excellent resource, Google earth. With the presentation feature it is easy to make unique and creative slide that can help your student visualize a place. #educ331 #GoogleEarth

@realrapreynolds is an amazing teacher to follow. He is actually a major reason why I got into the field of teaching. Check out his YouTube channel for amazing insight, tips, and perspective. #ff #educ331 #pstpln

@WPeters_ Will, thank you for the resource. If your interested the Smithsonian's history explorer website may be another useful resource for you!!

@HistoryHillin Hillin, what an amazing resource. As a student I was definitely nervous to ask for help, but this allows students to reach out for assistance while not feeling embarrassed. That's awesome!!

This is a great resource for social studies educators, it offers articles, activities, basic lesson plans, and primary/secondary resources for your class to discuss.

@TeacherToolkit @RubyTuesdayBks @BoredTeachers
The first two accounts seem to be great for finding resources and other tools to use in the classroom. The last account seems like a great place to converse and network with other teachers.

@keegan_lewis21 A strategy that I think is effective is asking the students for their opinion on the topic. People are normally more invested in something if they can give their two cents afterward. Simply asking, what do yall think? Really boost participation and makes them want to listen.

[Gehrig Schaffer @schaffer_gehrig]

@OlyviaTaylorEDU Olyvia, something that seems simple but is effective is pulling the student outside and asking them what's up often behavior problems are a result of a bigger issue like the student having to much energy or issues at home. My teacher Mr.Walz does this many times in one period

[Gehrig Schaffer @schaffer_gehrig]

Question to all my fellow social studies educators, how do yall decide what major events to cover when discussing a certain event, era, or society? #pstpln #educ331

[Gehrig Schaffer @schaffer_gehrig]

@julie_immordino @TeachingAutism That is an awesome resource thank you for sharing!!

[Gehrig Schaffer @schaffer_gehrig]

Something really cool I saw today was how welcoming middle schoolers could be. We had a new student and I was amazed by how many students went out of their way to include him. #celebratemonday #pstpln #educ331
