Excited to be one of 3500 social studies educators at @NCSSNetwork conference in Philadelphia this weekend. Good to be with my people!

@mrshistorylee @HistoryFrog @socialstudiestx @historyherway @patrickjwiggin @MarkJWestpfahl @stacyyung @slitrel @gduralek @NCSSNetwork @dunneteach @LexingtonHSHist @ReubenHenrique1 Hoping to see you and say hello!

@BFranckoTeaches Same thoughts…Holding my breath for these last few days…

As of this morning I'm thinking a lot about how cases are increasing rapidly in our schools right before break, making teachers more likely to get COVID just in time to thwart any plans for rest/family time over the holidays. This suddenly feels untenable.

@MrsH_sci Yeah!!! Congratulations!!!🎉🎈🎊

Got some good news today. 😁 #NBCTstrong

N- Nordkapp, Norway (northern most point in continental Europe) S- St John, USVI E- Kirkennes, Norway W- Oahu, Hawaii. I had to look up if HA or USVI was further south. It’s close!

@MeredithIreland At end of 2019 I bought this journal and all throughout 2020 as I wrote in it I felt I had been way too bold.

Friday fun, engaged Ss in a football review game using #jamboard, we even stayed past our virtual bell to break the tie! #virtualteaching #wlhs

Hello everybody! Let's begin this very special chat to help each other educate our students about the events of January 6 Please include #sschat in your tweets so we can all keep track of the conversation

@AMcMahonEd Yes! Had this same conversation in all my classes today.

Anyone else feel like the second day back is harder/more sleepy than the first?

@AMcMahonEd Great show! Thoroughly enjoyed!

Queen’s Gambit. Watch now. Do it.

@bdvalente2 Same... I ask about future plans, prep for AP exams, SATs, discuss skills and strengths. I usually teach juniors so it is a good time to check in on life after high school. Also bring up opportunities in the school that Ss could take advantage of.

Thank you Mr. Nicks @WildeLakeBSAP for teaching in our virtual AP World classes today about changing the narrative of African history. We look forward to having you join us again soon! #Lakepride

Some teacher friends issued a challenge: Come up with 1-pager (no tiny type either!) that helps them & their students make better decisions on the web. Hope it's useful! docs.google.com/document/d/1Uj…

Great information!

@MsKostelecELA Have a great year with your students! Can I come to your class too? 😊

Social studies educators: The fall schedule for #sschat starts next week.

@figgyleahl @teacher2teacher I found this one several years ago at a Hallmark store but you can find similar poster size ones at Amazon.

@teacher2teacher @PlatouWorld Where did you get this massive colouring in sheet ?

Need a break? T @PlatouWorld's school community invites Ss to spend a few minutes coloring when they need to de-stress. Might you try something similar? #TeachPos

Mrs. Byars has some amazing online resources teachers, check them out!

@bensteinscience @CountOrlok1 @hcpss_wlhs @HoCoFilmFest @HSFilmFest Congrats Fin!

My son @CountOrlok1's film "Still Life" was one of many great student films named as an official selection in the drama category of the #2020AAHSFF. Congratulations to Fin, Schrodinger Productions & his cast and crew. So excited and proud! @hcpss_wlhs @HoCoFilmFest @HSFilmFest

@NicksMarcus I have always found her courage and work to be so powerful!

Happy Birthday to Ida B. Wells who used writing and protest literature as a vehicle to fight against racial injustice. #resistance #writing #journalism #AfricanAmericanHistory
