Think Twice Before Doing Another Historical Simulation | Cult of Pedagogy

Historical simulations can be powerful for teaching, but when it comes to traumatic or violent periods, like slavery, there really isn't a good way to do them.

I spent some time out of the office to substitute for Kindergarten today at Live Oak Elementary! Round Rock needs more substitute teachers. The kids are amazing!

I had the opportunity to listen to @bstockus session on Circle Round Using Storytelling Techniques. How can you add elements of storytelling to your math lessons? @camats10

Check out the Smithsonian Learning Lab! Learninglab.si.edu. This is a great tool for increasing the diversity of resources for learning. I will share my collection when I make it; share with me if you make one!
