Q1: How do you currently use local connections in your social studies classroom?
Only visited once but loved the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and science center. Family had a great time.
A1) Teach online w/ Ss all over country & international so it's challenging to do so now.
A1 I use local connections when I invite guests into classroom for Guest Week. It extends the classroom.
A1: Always try to incorporate local geo, politics, and history to help students make connections to content
Cecil B. DeMille had a lake house in my hometown. , NJ! Best I can do
we have VA SOLs, and they utilize some local VA history, ie. Cactus hill settlement, field trips to jamestown, Y'town, W'burg
A1 like I said earlier, I'm spoiled by the proximity of many famous events within 20 miles of my school Far cry from where I grew up
A1 As a young history teacher in the early 1970s, I discovered David Weitzman's My Backyard History Book. https://t.co/gMx5xUYXSl
What kind of local guests? Local celebrities or politicians?
A1 In geography, I need to do better at this. I *should* take advantage of cultural centers and consulates in Chicago.
A1 cont. I also use social media to create local connections, especially in journalism. Provides opportunities for Ss
Do you tap into your students' localities?
Madeleine from Perth, Western Australia. Middle School Humanities teacher
Local PBS series of documentaries on neighborhoods & suburbs. Developed lessons 2 connect them 2 Am. hist. https://t.co/Z8g9KemtzA
When possible. I teach world history so that makes it a bit challenging. :)
A1 Currently, partnering up w/ TN state archives to create unit on gentrification - civil rights 1930-present.
A1. Hi, It's Sarah from Richmond, VA. I am so embarrassed to admit how little I integrate local history. I teach world and IB Euro.
Thats a great idea - there are a ton of PBS tours of Chicago's neighborhoods
Well yeah, but your US History colleagues have an embarrassment of riches!
Possibly if they have some connection to world history. Could be something to work into intro lessons next year.
Hull House would be a great one! Do they have any materials?
A1) field trips to the colonial sites and Rev/Civil battlefields in VA is a part of many classrooms, both in the area and statewide
Here, CA history is the focus in 4th grade.
I'm sure they do - I NEED to take better advantage of them!
In my 6th g U.S. his. class, in geo. unit, students drew maps of their neighborhoods & imp. landmarks to them
Welcome! Excited to hear how you use local history in Australia!
New Vid! The Vikings Explained! Perfect for World History students, lifelong learners & internet craycrays. https://t.co/cQGEtKauGR
A1 Tap into parents. Couple of yrs ago invited parent representing Equal Marriage Act case leading to SC case.
A1: Connecting the Aus Geog curriculum 2 important history of Indigenous Australians. Showing link between place, space & culture
My daughter's class did something similar in 2nd grade. It was neat to see their views.
My 4th grade class took a field trip to Mission San Louis Rey. I remember the very thick walls.
Great point - local resources might not be "historical." They might be HUMAN resources for your class.
A1: During recent IB training, I thought about encouraging students to consider local history topics for extended essay or even IA
Yes! Parents can be a welcome & valuable resource
That's a great idea! Then kids are really invested.
Late. Just finished xc meet. Joanne from Missouri. 7th grade world history and 11th modern global issues.
Merri in SoCal excited to talk about local history to me an untapped resource!
This is a great way to use local places to teach some of the skills that history/humanities students need!
Great way for students to learn content & about each other --> multicultural pedagogy!
Great idea! I did research on lab school program in HS where I was teaching for my research course in grad school.
^DH#WW2 Question: Would Hitler's invasion of Russia been more successful if he had waited to invade? https://t.co/THiiNxws7n
In the same boat though there is so much happening in that sometimes everything aligns to make a teach… https://t.co/kawYpMLfOo
When possible. I teach world history so that makes it a bit challenging. :)
A1 taking my 8th graders to next week for the 4th year in a row. Terrific living museum of 1830s American life!
Ken from Western Oregon Univ.
A1 Setting up a bus tour of historical AA neighborhoods - what's changed or preserved culture.
A1 Francis Marion aka The Swamp Fox did fighting vs Brits here in Columbus County during Rev War
Second question coming up ...
A1 LA County is rich with history good bad ugly & many Ss families lived that history so ripe territory!
A1 Growing up outside DC also meant easy access to US gov sites and MD, WV Civil War sites like Antietam & Harper's Ferry
A1: For US history all of our localities have something. Being in Richmond, VA, there are tons of options-Civil War, Civil Rights
Local field trips. Discover history and record it for others using augmented reality tools....or just some paper...eithers cool
He is one of my favorite Rev War characters! A few years ago one group of Ss called me "Swan Fox" b/c of my obsession
So many different ways to inspire students. Keeping it local helps students realize it IS attainable. … https://t.co/2yAVDw3ZeM
In Brooklyn, we have just had the 240th anniversary of the Battle of Brooklyn with lots of great events
Wow! Yes, it is like the historical jackpot there. :)
A1 Local park ranger impersonated French & Indian soldier. Ss loved watching him use musket
Q2: How does integrating local history have an impact on your students?
I'm lucky to live in a very diverse and culturally rich historical society
Great for all age student! https://t.co/fmP74E9drz
Local field trips. Discover history and record it for others using augmented reality tools....or just some paper...eithers cool
A1 for me at univ level it's mostly guest speakers, but can be outdoor activities to teach human-env interaction, field trips...
A2 Any time you can make a relevant connection for students, its a WIN!
I went to T.C. williams (remember the titans) - field trips to various smithsonian history museums in dc
A1: Students love finding a personal connection to the content. Making it relatable makes them more engaged
A1: Graphing population of a locality can be used to link to larger patterns of urbanization, declining rural population, etc.
A1B also, when was HS teacher, used local connections to bring in Returned Volunteers to educate Ss
A2. Helps build connection to community and personal identity. Ss find themselves in the broader narrative of history
A1 Took Ss to state archives to learn about TN presidents Jackson & Polk via primary sources.
A2: Creates a connection that they can explore deeper on their own. I used to love learning more about my hometown
A2: literally brings history "home" for Ss, like when I show map of where slaves lived (in Newton Massachusetts!!) & kids go nuts
A2 bringing local aspects into history (& geog) shows Ss that history DOES & HAS come alive all around them.
Yes mapping as a form of critical geography! Check out 's work in this area. Awesome stuff
Yes! Helping make students more aware of the history behind modern landscapes is great. Hidden history.
What about Andrew Johnson?
A2: Love seeing how students connect/find how they relate. More engagement in content and motivation for research, discussion etc!
Joining late! Sorry A1: I'm bad at this and need to do better. Do offer some local historical sites as "extra credit"
Great idea. As mentioned elsewhere, might have people in your community that are connected to the stories you teach.
That's in about 25 min. Car's warming up
Great answer ! Building a connection w/community is very important & I think is underutilized. Start making connections!
A1 Visited local museum 2 look at artifacts. 1 of first lessons primary/secondary sources. Then project is create virtual exhibit.
A2: I can only imagine the impact it could have. Make it more real knowing the history of their hometown. More invested
A2) Can get Ss excited. Had 9th gr S do U.S. hist project on WWII LSTs that were produced in the town. Fascinating.
A2 it makes content more relatable - taking AP Gov students to DC this Dec. to tour the bldgs they've heard so much about
A2 Low hanging fruit! Instant relevance to local connection
A2: it builds relevance . S's might have walked past a historic landmark and not realized the significance
A 2 instills pride in their neighborhood & city, proud of W'burg & the rich history it has to offer, provokes learning
Our local county engineer will print large historic maps and/or provide digital copies for teachers.
A2 The offers free passes to all 6th graders to historic sites throughout the state. Easy for kids to visit!
Jealous! It was a similar thing when growing up in a historical city (New Orleans), you take the history for granted
It can make it easier for them to personalize difficult concepts & skills
That's amazing. I wonder if that's universal or that engineer is just really awesome.
When we met students rwere rediscovering history in New Haven as they explored Beyonce"Formation" and the backlash
I know who does tremendous work preserving CLE history! I need to connect with him more for ideas!
Only had 1 hour! Poor Young Hickory got left out!
A2 Looking at artifacts they are familiar with helps them take the leap to ancient.
A2-There is a connection to place and a physical way to see change over time. More concrete connections to historical events.
A2 love all the responses & agree 1 ex that was powerful was Twilight in LA https://t.co/EhL8jVMEJh Ss talked w their families
Great conversation! As a state historical society educator, I am loving these ideas. Third question coming up...
Every student has the ability to capture history in their pocket. Capture recorded history of families
A2: Ss want to know how history directly impacts them. Making it in their neighborhood brings history to life!
StoryCorps app may be handy for that.
Not sure...guys in our county map rm enjoy historic stuff. We have 1 w/ early Mound builder sites marked
A2 can inspire - I played violin wedding gig @ historic jamestown, shared with students, very interested w/ lots of ?s about place
Q3: How can local history help us become more inclusive?
I think that we can get stuck in our standards and forget the valuable resources at state historical societies.
This is important! How do you think historical societies/places help utilize that technology? https://t.co/W5eTlqzeh0
Every student has the ability to capture history in their pocket. Capture recorded history of families
A3) Gives Ss chance to really explore all aspects of local history, learn more about their community, etc.
Especially exciting if it's a student's first time in DC!
Exactly! Now I live near rural SC and it takes FOREVER to get to a site
A3: Ah, for places like Richmond, that is a real and current issue.
The storycorp app especially the question prompts are amazing
We love our teachers and are always excited to help!
Yes, even if Ss r too young to use, can utilize framework to create questions.
Local historical societies may coordinate w/ Ts to fill need that they have. Ss directly contributing to community.
A3 , 1 project my students researched last year were neighborhoods of St. Paul. Many suprised at… https://t.co/YHp22hTLMp
Q3: How can local history help us become more inclusive?
A3: I can see it bringing generations together. Learning from each other and sharing the local history.
A3 actually for me I have the opposite problem: desegregation program brings students who live in Boston Tricky to manage local hist
A3: builds pride in the community
A3: 1)One of Richmond's main streets is Monument Ave. Lots of monuments to Confederate generals and a recent one for Arthur Ashe.
well said Sarah as this is my situation, focusing curriculum 2 much I'm realizing I need 2 look locally
A2 depending on your Ss population they can bring in their family history had Jrs interview their parents about their junior yr
A3: students are called to be the carriers of history. Need to know local to preserve our past. Provide them opportunities.
A3 Lessons that look at local spacial policies & its impact on sociioeconomics, who shops where, etc. Can use field work.
How do you address that in your classroom?
A3: 2 Looking at the Monument Ave. debate over the Arthur Ashe monument is also a way to show debates about history.
I mean it's not horrible, but I can't assume that every S lives in this town. Just have to speak carefully
A3 , piggybacking on my Guest Week concept, I need 2b more purposeful about bringing diversity in
A3 , piggybacking on my Guest Week concept, I need 2b more purposeful about bringing diversity in
That sounds cool. Would really give Ss idea of how much things have changed w/ school, tech, communication, norms, etc.
A3 Local history is a great way for students to learn abou/from those who were there before them, especially in ex-colonies (1/2)
Some really meaty things to discuss on Monument Ave. How do we remember? How SHOULD we remember?
A3 Allowing students to come into contact with cultures, classes, groups, generations, etc different than their own (2/2)
I refer to common landmarks like main streets, neighborhoods, etc. instead of "it's a few miles from your house!"
Not all of my students live in Richmond (most from surrounding counties), but it is still a focal point.
To be honest, I know CLE history and love it...I don't know much about the local history where I teach! Learning moments!
A3: Different cultures have different local stories. Get out and talk to ppl. Learn their stories. Kinda like
So important. Not just a simple decision. How do we memorialize & remember past? What influences that?
This is a significant challenge in the history field -not as diverse as we would like, tougher still for small orgs.#
Writer, lawyer & activist Bryan Stephenson has begun a project to place monuments at each lynching location in the US. Ss can help.
A3 . Put students in the role of a historian. They'll be doing that with me this fall with our… https://t.co/DBMxhUNUGl
Oh, I find plenty of other ways to embarrass myself on a daily basis! Left my dignity back in the 2nd Bush administration
A3: It brings forgotten neighborhoods that have been suppressed by blight of population shift & economic decline back to the convo
, we'll learn how to research political artifacts and record them (provide historic context) for future classes.
Yes! Those are the questions that fascinate me! The debate over the Lincoln statue at Tredager Iron works was fascinating.
We're looking @ doing PBL and I'm looking forward to encouraging ss to look at local history ideas
A3 Local h.great way for students to think critically abt. past, ie. W&M and past his. owning slaves, A-A's place in local his.
A3 VA has a lot of debate about Confederacy (road names, monuments, imagery) - local hist lets students get in on debate
Ooh, I need to learn more about this!
A3: school 50th anniversary, current Ss interviewed past Ss - photos & interviews on Bus Stop Ads around school & community
this is such a great idea!!! Very relevant too!
Do you have a link for this project? Curious to check out.
Ss love it when T is fellow learner (in my experience).
A3: Didn't really think about how local monuments can be a connection to discussions about monuments in world history.
Yes! In Oregon we can also do this w/ many of the native american vs. white explorer area names.
So good to remember how to teach skills of social studies. Critical thinking, bias, How to ask questions..
A3 Not sure local organization very diverse.
memorial & memory is one of my passion topics to much to share in 140 characters!
A3 Using the Green Books to learn about local history.
This is something I need to be more open to, as well. Great reminder!
I love this thought. There are war memorials in so many towns.
Would love to hear more about what you do.
Lots of native names in VA as well, esp. in my area - I'm sure many students don't realize the import behind them!
Wow, that's powerful! Thx
I wonder if students and their families could contribute diverse stories?
A3 take advantage of the archives at your local Universities, Newspapers, library & plan a fieldtrip based on local topic
Thanks for the discussion that helped prompt the thought.
Q4: Why types of local resources would help you and your students?
A2 AP World students partnered with a local museum to do exhibits last yr and saw local application for their skills.
So true. Especially when native americans often taught as the past & not as still here
Many towns and suburbs in Perth, Western Australia are Indigenous Australian names. Great seeing students research the meaning!
Maybe this is the way to use Twitter - connect to local students https://t.co/DpCiquxDZz
A4 This seems to be a hot topic. In Minnesota, my students think it's so far away... but it is SOMEONE'S local!… https://t.co/FTnbzxiDsP
A3 VA has a lot of debate about Confederacy (road names, monuments, imagery) - local hist lets students get in on debate
A4: Virginia Historical Society!
And by "why" I meant "what". :)
From local monuments, historic plaques to street signs, students are around history every day. #
https://t.co/PHu8ORu8Gf
We have Lake Matoaka (Pocahantos) at W&M, can discuss trad. narrative of her story vs. what actually happened - inquiry/investig.
A4 Journey & historical trails. Perhaps w/ QR codes at significant sites 4 students to read about as they walk through area
A3: As we think about being inclusive with local history, we also need to think about resources that support that goal.
A4. Images, artifacts, records organized by historical topic and era.
A4: knowing what is available for the ss to access. Like what exactly is available in the local historical society, museums, etc
A4) We have a cool museum of world cultures (more anthropology) that would be great to integrate w/ course. Need to look into that.
I wish. Town is 150 yrs old. Most growth in last 25.
agree! Paired with redlining maps from 1930s - overlay w/ demographics today. Eye opening
A4: It's funny, but I love going to estate sales around here. Tons of history at those! (and cheap tools)
A4: Local historical societies, libraries, and universities are great! Find community members who have experienced events to share
A4: I use & for a lot of stuff!
And what is appropriate for different grade levels.
Ss use digitized GBs look up safe places in Nashville. Look 4 patterns w/in city. Involved project, need to blog it!
That can be a way to show growth trends. What was the town like when it was founded? What has spurred growth
then can branch out to the "why did this happen?" to become problem solvers w/"how's this get fixed?"
A4: I have a great group of profs from Cleveland state I could turn to and the finest museum district in the country! So many!
A4 ppl, opps 4 field work, Many local resources provide opp 4 Ss inquiry learning (i.e.spacial policy impacts,HEI,movement patterns)
We try 2 incorporate that a lot into our unit. Minnesota did play large role, but war not fought on our turf.
A4 our local newspaper great S's and classes
Historical society wants a positive spin.
Reminds me of uproar over renaming of Mt. Denali (McKinley).
Many VA tribes do not have federal recognition - further relegates a very extant group of people to the past
Yes! And antique stores. Old lunchboxes and postcards, among others, are great teaching tools.
we have a WONDERFUL Capital bike trail from Yorktown to Richmond, with historical highway markers the whole way ~55 miles of trail
This is really a great topic. How to be inclusive of cultures that were devastated by dominant cultures/"progress".
I have access to Archaeological Professor - comes 2 schools and shows kids findings from digs around Perth, Western Australia...
So how does that change of soldiers, city folk, politicians? (Would it change of it was local? How? Why?)
I think using social media (twitter, skype, chat rooms) would be great for Ss to see other "local" perspectives.
I have to go play uber driver & take my daughter to ballet. Thanks !
A4) The HISTORY Here app is a good one to use if you haven't tried it yet
Heck, even good ole' pen & paper on a controversial issue, writing back & forth would be fun.
and scheduling - anyone face challenges scheduling field trips? How navigate?
That is a great resource to have. Are there indigenous perspectives available as well?
is video "slow chat" where people respond to ?s. Often focuses on local history/stories.
A4 once again lucky LA area so many museums archives tied to the county & rich rich history 1 ex all seem open to Ss
My Class (Perth, WA) will be communicating with a class outside of Chicago about their city via Google Docs
Interesting to see differences: places where "lots of stuff" happened vs. places with less nat'l connections. Richmond vs. Dakotas.
I pass "Crispus Attucks Place" on Tubman St. on my way to class every day!
A4: So much local history can be learned simply by getting outside, walking around a as group, looking around, and asking questions
And some school districts lack resources for travel, even locally. :(
How did you develop that relationship? Did you know someone at the school near Chicago?
True! I know & r debating this. What would my students say? Would politicians ask?
Last question on its way...
I'm from northern, liberal VA - interesting/odd to learn Civil War from a northern perspective in a southern state
I'd love to have a nomadic classroom where we just spent days/weeks exploring the local history! So much to share...and learn!
agreed; sometimes have that loaded up as I run through Pittsburgh
Q5: How can local history organizations support teachers?
And a VERY local Minnesota connection with Dred Scott! We just talked about him last week !
I put a call out on Twitter for a class!
We can still bring local connection to landscape--even if we can't get a bus to take Ss there.
like Ms Frizzle's magic school bus, but for history/geography instead of science!
A5) Maybe collaborate to have Ss build webpages about particular topic for historical society or dev podcast or similar?
Do you think students would have the patience?
# Great point. When that is the case, what kind of digital resources are most effective?
A5: Local orgs can serve as the agent to bring resources, people, and communities together to collaborate on new ideas
Brilliant idea! is a great way 2 extend connections, model for students & learn "local" from "far away"
A5 Many local hist org's love to see students - Lee House @ Arlington Cementary allowed us 2 visit, perform skits in period clothes
my Ss assignment is 2 compare Aus city with USA city. Perfect opportunity 4 a global classroom opp!
perfect! Couldn't agree more...and who needs science???
I'm waiting for the "HistoryGo" App modeled after Pokemon game
Think tech can help w/ that (have local historian Skype in) or bring person to school.
Exactly why I did it. Students r very excited as well. Good opp 4 them to develop research Q's too!
There's a really cool app out of Washington State, created by students abt local places.
The Aurasma app has some potential for that....
If done write... probably. If expectations were set. Might be easier w/instant gratification of Google doc!
A5 Local Hist Societies often have great photo archives. Perhaps Ss can do a what it looked like then and now project.
I would also leave the annoying kid behind 'mtalkingabout
If done right... probably. If expectations were set. Might be easier w/instant gratification of Google doc!
Love it! Do your Ss usually choose famous USA cities? Or something unknown?
I know one school in my area uses Aurasma 2 create augmented stops @ historical places in their local town
Q 5 - colonial organizers & re-enactors welcome students, teachers, & field trips to williamsburg, gotta <3 tri-cornered hats
A4 In LA area many museums sure more offer free fieldtrips just requires planning some PD grateful
recently shared a cool tool that could be used to compare people/places from past to today.
Making online Museum Kiosks is a project that Ss and local hist local societies could collaborate
A5: Ts could be offered PD for learning/visiting and taking lessons back to the room since field trips are costly. Ss gain interest!
Digital photos, audio recordings of interviews,skype with local expert, digitized articles
# I LOVE this idea. Looking at this for interpretation at -- student created experiences (li… https://t.co/gS7BJT3Q1k
A5) Maybe collaborate to have Ss build webpages about particular topic for historical society or dev podcast or similar?
DSL has so much cool stuff! The election maps are my faves.
Yes, he did an iBook on Portland's "Little Tokyo".
Big cities 4 more geographical data and analysis compared 2 large cities in Australia.
That would be interesting and rewarding, with or without students!
A5 during my time teaching I felt very supported by local historical agencies willing to work w students support teachers
I spent too much time this summer translating old maps of Newton Mass into GoogleMaps with layers: https://t.co/fB0Vhsjdzv
Jumping in ... A5: Local historical societies provide excellent resources --> collaborate w/ Ts to make lessons would be beneficial
Have them proavtively reach out to Ts. Many social studies teachers are not originally from ate they teach in.
thx for the chats every1, this Aussie teacher is off now - breakfast time (it's 7:52am) - love the collab happening!
As always, such great ideas and convos here. Keep connecting with your local history folks -- we want to hear from you!
by clicking through layers you can see how roads, buildings, etc. increased over time from 1700-1841
Looking for folks that teach MS World History. Looking for more skill/concept based rather than content heavy.
The legacy of Reconstruction? How interesting
Is there such a thing as "too much time" with old maps? Methinks not.
Hope you have a good day. :-)
got lots of assistance from local history organizations' archivists, museum managers, etc.
A5 Many teachers don't know certain organizations & societies exist. That's a tough one to overcome sometimes.
Bravo! And now you could have Ss bike the diff boundaries! And record their route.
As a newcomer, this was a wonderful, valuable way to improve as an educator, thank you everyone
. love the idea of student-created podcasts on their local topic.
Come back again. We are here every Monday.
now I think I need to plug Reconstruction Teachers Fellowship! 😉
How do we reach out to teacher? E-mails seem to get lost, mailings too expensive.
we're all reinventing the wheel unnecessarily!
Thanks to everyone for your participation! Keep up the local history love and if you're in MN, come see us! https://t.co/dhuXhYG6S6
More than impressed w/ my 1st ! I learned a lot, have a lot to ponder, & will definitely be returning in the future! Cheers, all!
Awesome! We're here every Monday evening. We have a chat tomorrow on civility during elections.
Back in the day when we had curriculum supervisor, every PD we spent in Boston learning local history. It was awesome!
Thanks, y'all. I always come away from with some great ideas!
Reach out to social studies coordinators for schools/districts?
Gotta go. Starving. See you tomorrow. Thanks
Had to be here for class, but had a great time! Will be back again (which won't be required!)
(2/2) if you don't know what exists... how DO you frame a search engine request?
Thanks so much to for tonight's great ?s & to everyone who participated tonight. So many great ideas!
Awesome! We're here every Monday. :) Even have a special tomorrow night on civility during election season.
Awesome! We're here every Monday. :) Even have a special tomorrow night on civility during election season.
It was fun! We'll be back again for another chat soon.
