Adventures in Teaching: Must-Have Resource for History Teachers
http://kfbullockteach.blogspot.com/2014/07/must-have-resource-for-history-teachers.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Must-Have Resource for History Teachers. So imagine my excitement when I found the Stanford History Education Group (SHEG). Students have enjoyed these lessons, sometimes they get a little sick of them because they would rather just "know" the answer. However, students have also expressed that they like working through these resources. So if you haven't already been to this website, make sure you check it out! July 31, 2014 at 7:00 PM. Thanks for the tip on the great resource!

Sunday, December 22, 2013. Flipped History Google Hangouts. Below you'll can check out some of the Hangouts I have been a part of. Tuesday, December 3, 2013. Just in Time" Learning and Part-Time Flipping. I felt happy about the "compromise." Although the accumulating information was teacher-driven, the application allowed the students to process the information and included student-choice.

Adventures in Teaching: February 2014
http://kfbullockteach.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 9, 2014. With the adoption of Common Core standards, history teachers are becoming more concerned with historical thinking skills. Many of us are happily leaving behind the long lists of content to be memorized. In fact, many history educators on Twitter blogged about that very topic on the new History Blog Circle, proposed by Joe Taraborrelli. I contributed to last month's topic here. For the first time. As a class we often look at primary sources together, but I think I should assess t...

Adventures in Teaching: October 2013

Wednesday, October 23, 2013. National History Day and Flipped Class Doubts. This is my first year ever, being involved in National History Day. In stress surveys I handed out this week (something we are trying to do weekly for each of our classes this year), many students were positive. Saying they were nervous about the project, but appreciated the break down I gave them today. However, just one student wrote some nasty words to me, including "why are we doing this, again? Ouch, it stings. Teacher's Con...

Deep Learning From the Trenches. In response to a journal topic that asked, in part, “Is it possible to create opportunities for deep learning in your own high school career? Rdquo;, a student wrote the following:. And that is completely heartbreaking to me, for two reasons. First, this student has had the desire to learn new, exciting things (and learn them deeply) kind of beaten out of her by waves of busy work. This is a problem. And it’s a personal problem for me. Deep learning is the pulse...Here is...

Normalizing The Weird. - concerted chaos

We had Saturday school this weekend to make up a snow/ice day from earlier in the week last week. We had a puppet-making workshop in AP Language for the two thirds of the students who made it out of the house by the time class started. Do weird things every day. Change up your routine. Watch things/talk about things that are interesting to you. Show your outside-of-class interests. Get students talking to each other. Get students to explicitly connect your class to things happening in the outside world.

The Infection Suggestion: #youredustory, Week 10 - concerted chaos
http://www.concertedchaos.com/blog/the-infection-suggestion-youredustory-week-10
The Infection Suggestion: #youredustory, Week 10. Prompt: How do you infect students with a passion for learning? Let's start here: I take issue with the idea of intentionally infecting anyone with anything. The connotation of the word "infect" is inherently negative, and more importantly, it suggests a lack of agency on the part of the infected individual. Let's not suggest that students don't already have a passion for learning. At worst, they don't have a passion for learning THAT or THIS.

Five Reasons to Use LessonPaths in Your Class. One tool that we use in lots of different ways is LessonPaths (formerly MentorMob, now found at lessonpaths.com). It allows you to create and organise content into playlists that go in a fixed order. We have been using it for the last few years to archive all the work in a particular unit so students can easily find assignments they missed or need to revise. This is the playlist. From our first unit last year, and here is the one from Gatsby. Another big sel...

Building Relationships Is The Best Thing: #youredustory, week 4. Prompt: What is the best thing you do in your classroom/school/district/job? It's hard to brag. I also have dozens of assignments and structures in my own classroom that I'm proud of, as well as lots of things I've screwed up (that you could charitably call "learning experiences"). I like the student-centered infrastructure, which is not dissimilar to the one Karl. Didn't work out too well. But my two favorite assignments are these:. Unfort...
