  • What it is:  History Pin is a really neat website that lets students (and anyone) electronically “pin” historical pictures, videos, audio clips, and stories to a digital globe.  There are three main ways to use History Pin: exploring it, adding to it, or curating things on it
  • How to integrate History Pin into the classroom: History Pin is a neat place for students to learn about history.  They can see history through pictures, video and stories submitted by people around the world.  History Pin is also a fantastic place for students to demonstrate learning.  They can add pins, create collections or tours around their learning.

Revised AP Physics, U.S. History Coming Soon - Curriculum Matters - Education Week - 0 views

AP Physics US History ss history

  • The College Board today announced the release of redesigned AP programs for U.S. history and physics, with a focus on reducing the amount of content coverage required to allow more time for studying key concepts in greater depth. Schools will offer the revised courses starting in fall 2014.
  • The emphasis on covering less material in greater depth surely rings a bell with lots of this blog's readers, given that this is a core mantra these days, emphasized, for example, in the Common Core State Standards in mathematics, as well as the common science standards now being developed by a coalition of states and others.
  • Topics covered in Physics 1 include Newtonian mechanics; work, energy, and power; and mechanical waves and sounds. Physics 2 covers fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and atomic and nuclear physics.

  • As for U.S. history, the key objectives of the changes include: • Alignment with evolving U.S. history curriculum at the nation's top colleges and universities; • Providing teachers and students flexibility to focus on specific historical topics, events, and issues in greater depth; and • Increasing student practice of historical thinking skills as central to understanding history.

  • In fact every time I have helped a teacher flip their classroom in the high school it has never involved videos. Instead it involves students actively finding information, making sense of it, and then coming to class ready to discuss with the teacher what they have learned, what questions they have and, what it is they still don’t know/understand.
  • Currently I am working with a history teacher who came to me with some “really dry historical content” that he needed to cover in his 11th grade Thailand and Southeast Asia history class.
  • The essential question: How does the past influence the present?

  • In a May post here at the Voices blog, I suggested that one of the things I thought colleges should be looking for from prospective students was civic engagement. Certainly, having students see themselves as actors and creators of history is one of my goals for my history students.

    This is a website where you can see a digital picture-history all over a world map. You can choose a time period and/or place to view, and you can add your own pictures to a place.

    Historians read the first part, then jump to the end and ask themselves: Who wrote this? When was it written? What else do I need to know to make a considered and valued judgment?  What is the author's point of view? Why was it written? Is this source believable? Why? Why not? ----------------- Before we accept this as fact or true, we ask ourselves the above questions. (This is called Sourcing) It's critical thinking and evaluation. It's worthwhile. Not just filling in worksheets.
