Here is a Cold War Stations activity that I use with my AP World students when we cover the Cold War. One of my colleagues developed it years ago. It includes seven stations, each with cartoons, documents, or photographs for students to process. I printed it out for seven different stations, but students could also work on it online. Here's a google link to the handout that students complete.

This week was all about making westward expansion more engaging and interactive while reinforcing key historical concepts through EduProtocols. From annotated maps and Thick Slides to Map & Tell and Parafly , students used a variety of strategies to build knowledge, analyze sources, and develop writing skills. We started with a Great American Race to introduce westward territories, followed by a Map & Tell to break down the meaning of “5440′ or Fight.” Parafly helped st

One of the biggest challenges in history education is engaging students in meaningful analysis while encouraging collaboration and critical thinking. Enter Snorkl , an AI-powered whiteboard tool that allows students to interact with historical content by annotating images, adding text, drawings, or even recording their voices. By integrating Snorkl with historical inquiry, EduProtocols , and depth and complexity strategies, we can create a dynamic space where students engage deeply with the past

When we first teach students the sounds of the alphabet, we often get caught in a bit of a jumble. Right away, we encounter the elaborate spelling variations of English. We are teaching the sound that the letter a makes but it makes more than one so we add in complexity by explaining both the long a sound (ape) and the short a sound (apple). The same goes for many other sounds like g where we explain that it makes both the hard g sound (gorilla) and the soft g sound (giraffe).

Burials offer a glimpse into the lives, beliefs, and sometimes violent deaths of past peoples. A recent study published in Latin American Antiquity 1 has brought attention to a particularly enigmatic burial at Buen Suceso, Ecuador, dating to between AD 771 and 953. The grave contained the remains of a young pregnant woman, a cranial fragment from another individual, and an assortment of grave goods that suggest a possible ritual sacrifice.

A reminder of a website developed by EuroGeo colleagues. This has been working to produce dashboards on climate change for use when teaching the topic. Teaching the Future is an ERASMUS funded project. The dashboards are a way of displaying complex information on climate change, which is still on the curriculum in the UK. though increasingly not in the USA.
