Welcome to my experiment with blogger.com! Throughout our semester, I will be using this blog to help you explore all of the great resources available on teachinghistory.org!
Teachinghistory.org, sponsored by the National History Education Clearinghouse, is a fantastic resource for elementary, middle, and high school teachers of history. It is designed to aid teachers in developing quality lesson plans, finding historical content, and using best practices. Upon first impression, the site is a little overwhelming, but they do try make it navigable. Search engines are featured for various types of content and tabs are included at the top so that you can easily shift to the specific type of material you'd like to browse.
Each week, I will explore a different element of the website and try to discuss how I might use it in my own classes. Feel free to comment throughout the semester on both teachinghistory.org and my use of blogger.com :)
I'm hoping teachinghistory.org is going to help us keep our history classrooms from looking like this:
Bad History!
