I just finished reading "The Social Studies Field Guide" by @hsglobalhistory.bsky.social and @glennwiebe.bsky.social If you are engaged in social studies education, get this book! Appreciate their perspective and knowledge.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Trumpism in a nutshell. No solutions, just blame.

How American of our government. Propose reservations for a sovereign people in order to take premium land. That certainly tracks.

RIP Jimmy Carter.

Looking at ways to incorporate 1938 Bowman Horrors of War or 1962 Topps Civil War News cards into a DBQ. If you have never seen the 1938 cards, I have included a sample. Will share other examples later. #edusky #sschat #ncss #iteachhistory

The morning after being worked over by the chiropractor has me feeling...

Any guesses as to what this could have been inside a school? I have an idea, but would be curious to hear other folks guesses. #edusky #sschat

In many instances, we are all we have. Blows me away that teachers are not connecting with others, and especially online. Having a network is what has helped me grow and keep me from going insane.

Reminding myself of this as the holidays approach.

Just learned about Digital Comic Museum. Golden Age comics which are free for download. Even some of the ads could be used for DBQs in history classes. Atomic War has an ad for savings bonds from 1952. digitalcomicmuseum.com #sschat #iteachhistory #ncss

I have always loved loved loved the Crop it Strategy. And now it's been digitized!? Yes, please! agileteacherlab.org/index.php/ou... Helps kids see details & think critically about #primarysources. Thx @ncssnetwork.bsky.social conference! #historyteachers #sschat #iteachsocialstudies #EduSkyChat

Thinking of a possible session for NCSS next year and having the focus be on how tobacco and bubble gum cards over time create historical narrative which is shall we say...romanticized, or ideal? Also, the artwork are great sources for analysis. What do you think @socialstudiestx.bsky.social

Walking through the mall in a conservative part of the county and you get a fist bump from a complete stranger...

Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education? Oh FFS...

Love seeing so many of the conversations happening via #edusky Reminds me of the great networks formed over a decade ago via social media. These connections are valuable and I am thrilled to see it happening again.

This information is a game changer and the main reason why I am spending my energy here.

Got to tell a student teacher that after the next observation, they are all done with their requirements. Last step before graduation. She is a second career teacher and works in one of the toughest spots in STL, but she is doing great. Cheers to her!

Disappointed that I will not be able to make #NCSS2024 in Boston. For those of you going, be sure to share your learning. Also, have fun in that great city!

Saturday session at MO History Museum with NCHE and Dr. LaGarrett King was fantastic! Even better that St. Louis Public and UCIty teachers were taking part.

Working on AfAm Studies "Life During Recon" lesson. Came across this photo... Imma just going to leave this here for, reasons.

Joined Bluesky thanks to colleagues at #NCSS2023 Thanks to the education community at #EduSky for more connections.
