Videos of scholars discussing primary sources and great lessons on how to teach primary documents in the US History class. Bookmarked!

Short video on digital writing -- Anca, this makes me think of your interest in leading film studies and producing documentaries with the students.. Taken from NYC Writing Project -- What I appreciate most about this video is the way it clearly demonstrates a "both/and" mentality toward print and digital tools, and increases my interest in parallel pedagogy. 

After all of the neat info-graphics we've been making here in Cincinnati, I thought this was a cool one for ELA and the Common Core.. 

Oops, I didn't actually make this one -- I just meant that it reminded me of some Montessori themed ones we've sketched here in Cinci. I found this one on Twitter and am not sure how it was made..

I got an email about this workshop in August -- social studies teachers might be interested and I think it's free!

Though not directly related to teaching, I wanted to post this piece because I've seen "pedagogy of place" tagged several times. This is one of those few articles that I always keep nearby because I yearn to read it so often. It really strikes a chord within me when I think of what it means to be "committed" to a place. I've never directly used it with my class, though it has certainly influenced my thinking when I've created place-based activities for my students. I would love to talk about it with anyone else who falls in love with it :)
