My brother bought a house built in the 1850s. As he pulled back carpet, we found the floor covered in newspapers from the 1944.
So… #sschat, what should I have my students do with these treasures?
The team hasn’t disappeared, we’ve just been as buried in the daily stuff as everyone else. So…in order to spark our own fires, what do YOU want us to help you learn more about???
I had such a great time visiting with the amazing hosts of the @TalkinSS podcast this last week - discussing inquiry driven PBL in the SS & History classrooms. If you are interested in listening - here is the link https://t.co/Vy30GMYmMk #sschat#oklaed#edchat
I remember talking to Kenneth for a @TalkinSS episode a few weeks into the shutdown and thinking, thank god there are people like him to help us learn from history.
Sadly, society ignores historians as well as scientists & doctors.
We’re back with NEW content - Talking National History Day! Have you ever thought, “hey, I have some great ideas to share about Social Studies”? We’ll hit us up & come TALK SS (see what we did there 😉).
SHEEEESH! It’s a brand new @TalkinSS! Enjoy @CHitch94 @STLinOK @ScottPadway & me talking about the things we’ve learned this year! https://t.co/ysR3fBwwLB
If you aren’t familiar already with Ep 41’s special guest @HeimlersHistory, you should be. Here’s a recent snippet of how he approached a topic that needs discussing: Hate Crimes in the US that target Asian Americans https://t.co/IhDKpF2zYV
Folks, 2020 is... well, all the things. The team keeps talking about an episode and feelers are in the works on some good stuff. Stay tuned. @ScottPadway is getting creative today & there may be a few cameos from the rest of the team.
I’ve seen so much on #edutwitter about how we need to check in and support the new teachers.
But who is checking in on older teachers?
The middle-aged teachers?
The teachers who are also parents trying to balance this & their kids eLearning.
Let’s look out for everyone.
I made breakout room choice doors where Ss will "go" to during their work time. We're using Google Meet & I plan to link different Meet links to each 🚪so Ss can collaborate, work alone, or get extra help. Honoring differences & personalizing instruction!
Feel free to use⬇️
Can you believe we are starting Season 4 remotely? What a better way to start than learning about Hyperdocs with @lhighfill and @kellyihilton@TalkinSS https://t.co/nxXy0NJU2c
