Post Labels

Posts on this blog are categorized as one (or more) of the following:

What's History: Reflections on what history is-- focusing on methodology, archival work, and the role historical knowledge and practice plays in daily life-- and ways in which daily life can inform the ways we teach and understand these meanings. 

Course Connections: Photos and discussion of places, media, and documents I encounter related to things I have taught. 

Reacting to Reacting: A more specific subset of Course Connections-- Photos and discussion of places, media, and documents I encounter related to the Reacting to the Past games I have taught. 

Current Project: Specific discussion of things I am working on at the moment, such as syllabi, award applications, or research projects. 

Enough About Me: Connections between teaching and my own personal hobbies, likes, dislikes, beliefs, etcetera. Focused on thinking through ways that these things can inform teaching and learning. 

Take My Advice: Explorations of things I and other instructors want to pass on to students outside of the core curriculum. Skills (for example, paragraph structure), strategies (for example, how to read (or skim, or make the acquaintance of) a book in an hour, or how to communicate with your instructor), and tips and tricks (how to find the Proquest newspaper database) are all relevant here. 

Plug and Play: Posts on classroom tools or activities that can be applied to a variety of uses. 

Pedagogical Possibilities: Posts on broader pedagogical concerns, like classroom management, teaching philosophies, and concerns which cross the borders of multiple types of classrooms.
