Jim Crow

This is where to start if you want to cover this subject.

American Radio Works also has a great story about the subject.

Don't forget my lynchings postcard post, too.

Women's History Links

Lots of good Women's history links here. A great site about the Triangle shirt company fire too.

Let's get all technological

This seems to be it when it comes to technology and social studies.

Wow, mother of all links page!!!!!!!!!

Reinventing the Wheel

I've never been in favor of reinventing the wheel so I spent my snow day looking up other blogs.

This is a bit of a Russian doll except you never know which doll will be the big, beautiful babushka of your teaching dreams.

First the only Ed blog I've ever read before, Teaching in the 408, is the definition of a teacher taking ownership of his students success and never settling. My readership is due to a friendship but if anyone seeking a little inspiration, and who's seen the Taylor Milo you tube clip too many times, should scroll through.

The sunshine state brings us The Fischbowl which has some excellent posts and shows what can happen if educators are allowed to assemble at a school and think about teaching together.

Teaching every student is worth it for links and videos that can help you, well, reach every student.

Larry Ferlazzo's, an ELL focused teacher, seems to have invented, or outworked, other wheels makers. His best of section is divided by subjects and has an extensive list of social studies related links. For instance, his best map making section is divided into sections. I can only imagine what his desk looks like.

There's more, we'll get there, but the folks at edublog have compiled their own best of list, they have a conference and a big mic.
