Katrina Kennett replied to Chris Kenny's discussion American Studies in the group Book Club"Chris - I am the English teacher in a 10th grade Interdisc course combining American History (like yours, colonization to Reconstruction). We pair the timline with thematically related texts and focus on literacy across both disciplines. Here is the…"
Chuck Gillespie replied to Chris Kenny's discussion #sschat for students?"I am new to #sschat--this is my first comment on the site. I think this is a great idea. Anything that stimulates students to think critically is an excellent idea. I can see where teachers across the country could provide great inquiry based…"
Rita Oates, PhD replied to Chris Kenny's discussion #sschat for students?"Authentic communication with peers in other countries leads to powerful engagement, learning and empathy. Kids who whine about being asked to empty the dishwasher at home get a real wakeup call when a student in Senegal says, "Before school, I…"
Chris Kenny replied to Jamie Josephson's discussion Textbook Reading in AP History/Gov courses in the group AP Educators"This might sound callous, but I try to be as upfront as I can about the reading and writing load as well as the pace of the class so that when kids are struggling I can remind them they were warned. We have a meeting with them the June before I have…"
Chris Kenny replied to Chris Kenny's discussion #sschat for students?"Yeah, I would want them to make school accounts, too."
Chris Kenny replied to Chris Kenny's discussion #sschat for students?"We should come up with hashtags for various courses. I would imagine doing the whole moderated discussion might be impractical, but just having it as a network of history classes would be pretty awesome, I think."
Chris Kenny replied to Chris Kenny's discussion #sschat for students?"I understand the concern but the culture of our district has really turned to helping students become responsible, safe digital citizens. This means that rather than keep them out of networks like Twitter they should be introduced to it. Students,…"
Heidi Renk replied to Chris Kenny's discussion American Studies in the group Book Club"Hello,
I teach American Literature and U.S. History. For this time period, you can use Native American myths, slave narratives, The Red Badge of Courage, The Scarlet Letter, The Crucible, Anne Bradstreet poetry, Sinners in the Hands of…"
Chris Kenny replied to Jamie Josephson's discussion Textbook Reading in AP History/Gov courses in the group AP Educators"I have them read The American Pageant at home and we go over primary source documents and analysis in class together. It seems like the issue isn't the program so much as the guidance counselors letting people in. Students who cannot pass World…"
Jamie Josephson replied to Chris Kenny's discussion #sschat for students?"I'd like to use Edmodo in general next year I think in general but not sure if it makes more sense than a general google webpage or a blog for my students...(that's a WHOLE 'nother topic I'm sure).
My kids use…"
ron_peck replied to Chris Kenny's discussion #sschat for students?"Great Idea! I have introduced Twitter to my students and have shown them the power for research and resources. Question: How do we make it safe and free of abuse among students? Do we open it up to all of our students? Is there a potential for…"
Angela Cunningham replied to Chris Kenny's discussion #sschat for students?"I love the idea & hope to connect my students with others next year. I think my APUSH students will be especially responsive. We'll have to work out the details in August."
Nate Everett replied to Chris Kenny's discussion #sschat for students?"Great idea. When I told a student how excited I got from using Twitter to connect to other teachers, she said she would lurk on the Monday night chats on #sschat, and did. She came in with comments and feedback on the great discussion."

I was thinking about this last night... What if we replicated the success of #sschat but did it with a network of all our students instead of just us teachers? I was thinking about the possibilities around having my students get involved with #sschat and asking a whole country's worth of teachers questions about the subject matter and I thought that might intrude on the original intention of the group. But what if we created another group that connects all of our students instead of just us…See More
