Love these maps. A local historian in STL has generated massive overlay maps in Google Earth to see what the city "looked" like at a particular time. So cool to see.

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.

Always air grievances first. Helps in preparing for the feats of strength.

Is this an album or something else? Still available?

Here is an example of what Topps did for the centennial of the Civil War. They went for shock value on these cards.

Let me know when you come across some, as I would love to get my hands on more.

Yes. I love baseball cards and non-sports cards as well. They reveal so much about the times they were created. I have a special affinity for tobacco cards as well.

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...

I think what's interesting is that there could have been a window or decorative piece in the middle.

I was thinking similar. Maybe this is where the custodian would turn on the lights? Telephone line access?

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

Likewise!

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

Classic...

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...

Thanks for sharing with those of us unable to make it. Feels weird not being there for the first time in a long time.

Unfortunately, he is dead. Yet, even in death, he would be far better than her.

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.
