I am presenting a Breakout Session at the History Day @ Your Library training for teachers being held at the MN History Center in St. Paul on November 10, 2010. I'm excited about sharing! The training I do is usually connected to technology, but this is simply using technology(the faithful data projector and laptop) to communicate ideas. I like to find the story in everything--it's her story, it's his story, it's their story, it's our story, it's HISTORY!
The Shelfari widget I just added on the sidebar has some of the picture books I'll be sharing with participants as starting points for a discussion of Debate and Diplomacy, this year's theme.
A picture book is such an excellent teaching tool, people shouldn't abandon it after third grade!
I like to explore all kinds of information and how it impacts our lives, but for the next few months I am going to focus on the impact of the election of Trump as president. For millions of Americans who are in distress (that includes me) I'm going to explore how we can cope with the emotions engendered and take positive actions to make a difference--first in our own lives and then in the lives of our fellow citizens and in the future of our nation. Let's begin!
Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.
