Because Philly (And also Westerns) - Teacher Resources

I have to admit - I have a soft spot for Thomas Jefferson.

(Yeah. That's us taking a selfie together. NBD.)

So, I'm really excited about this science class primary resource from fellow PhilWP-er Trey Smith about Thomas Jefferson's Proposed System of Weights and Measures.

And, since we're on the subject of American History, the National Humanities Center has a whole bunch of free webinars available during the Spring of 2016, from teaching war fiction to religious freedom and religious intolerance in America.

And finally, since I love digital storytelling with a passion, and Westerns kind of fit into the historical theme of today's post, Kevin Hodgson posted today about Alan Levine's new, open invitation, Western-themed DS106 course. Sounds like a pretty great place to jump in and see how people are using the internets for creativity. And then steal borrow ideas for my classroom.
