Hi Bill

Looking for resources on WWI Armenian genocide and influence on WWII to use with high school students and possible escape room. #SSchat #EduSKy TIA

Last time I taught World was probably 15 years ago. Let me tag my amazing coworker @stewshistorium.bsky.social and former coworker @msgreeneedu.bsky.social

Nice!!! TY. Coincidentally we are finishing up some magazine covers this week. Below are examples of what kids produced last year. Canva is our go to.

I've shared magazine templates for years to teachers to use with their students. I've been asked for Canva versions of them and finally got around to building some out. Here is the link to my template page where you can find TIME and NAT GEO versions

I also recommend this video when teaching about the rise of fascism youtu.be/CpCKkWMbmXU?...

“My father once told me that American democracy is a people’s democracy at heart, and that it therefore can be as great as the American people, or as fallible. It depends on all of us. But our system is more fragile than we know. To sustain it, we must always cherish the ideals on which it was founded, remain vigilant against the dark forces that threaten it, and actively engage in the process of making it work.” George Takei

I am always moved by this quote when we watch @georgetakei.bsky.social TedTalk during our WWII unit but this year the message hits even harder youtu.be/LeBKBFAPwNc?...

Haven’t posted much on social media lately are there a lot of us (educators)on here now? Should I start sharing again?
