WE'RE BACK!!!!
2022 NHD Georgia Teacher Workshop (IN PERSON)
NHD 2023: Frontiers in History: People, Places, Ideas
An examination of the theme and ways to maximize its impact in your classroom
July 19-20, 2022
Lewis Library, LaGrange College
- What is a frontier?
- Geographic frontiers
- Technological frontiers
- Ideological frontiers
- Socio-economic frontiers
- Cultural Frontiers
- How do we build topics based upon these concepts?
- How do we do basic research to gain an understanding of our topics?
- What tools can our students use?
- How can we facilitate collaboration and engagement in our classrooms?
We will use the time together to facilitate the creation of tools teachers can use in their classroom to help their students get started. In particular we will focus on the construction of "Topic Walls" using Padlet. Padlet is a website/app that allows students to collaborate, build, and share bulletin boards known as "padlets." There is a free version as well as subscription service available. Each participant will leave the workshop with a padlet of topic ideas and starter resources. You can review NHD Georgia's "Debate and Diplomacy Starter Pack" padlet HERE.
The goal is for you to leave the workshop comfortable with the theme, ready to discuss it with your students, and with a padlet 'in hand' to help your students launch their program year!
