Here's a neat idea. Canva has business card templates. How about getting students to make business cards for historical characters!? www.canva.com/s/templates?...

Great little 2D stop motion idea shared by some colleagues today! I could totally see something like this to illustrate voyages, battles, land and boundary changes, and especially human interactions in Soc Sci classes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx8p... @stacyaallen.bsky.social

Names of things! An interesting way to do history (and literacy?) At the same time? www.facebook.com/jasondavidwo...

This was a great hands-on activity that got kids outside and learning more about their own land… to think about occupation over time so you can be better at relating your community today to the whole complexity of the past. youtu.be/GgbS_TfDdDk?... @stacyaallen.bsky.social

Humans are good at selectively ignoring things, not so much for robots. Interesting notion of the frame problem and how for AI it’s still a problem. www.facebook.com/reel/1120954...

Use A.I. intelligently. Two pages (posters) by RECITUS at www.recitus.qc.ca/ressources/s...

Cool idea on maps and what they can represent. For Geography Secondary, etc. mediasmarts.ca/lessonplan/e...

Just something I used to think a lot about myself a while back, but have forgotten about. For me it was the real paradigm shift that the Internet brought on and something I’d love to share with students someday. Saving it here for when that day comes. Kind of funny too! youtube.com/shorts/sTtmC...

This is actually a really cool idea for a student activity. Take old cartoons and remove the captions and then have students write captions for them and exchange ideas. Then compare with the original. (Posting here to save for later.) youtu.be/Uoevb_ZRBCo?...
