I don’t do airplane selfies bc I always look like a dork. But I’m definitely ok with posting an inflight pic when it has to do with the #fieldguide by @madisonteacher.bsky.social and @glennwiebe.bsky.social 🗺️ 🍎 #sschat

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.

I had the pleasure of launching the digital exhibit for a project I have been working on for the past year with the James City Historical Society in Eastern North Carolina. I am happy to share the site with you all. Please check it out and engage in this important piece of NC and national history.
