Been on my mind a lot in recent years: in education we tend to celebrate what is new—and it's good to try/experiment with new ideas, strategies, programs. But the second time you do a good thing, it is still a good thing. And the third time, fourth time, etc. Good is good.

You know who is fun to follow on social media during the World Cup? Historians. Enthusiastic fans who can provide an interesting story about a cultural exchange and/or war between the two countries that happened in the 17th century.

Great historical fiction abt #Brazil for the win! See Jungle of Ashes (Brynn Barineau). Set in #Fordlândia, Henry Ford's ill-fated company town. A well-researched, accessible coming-of-age read. Excited to share w/ students! @clahistorians.bsky.social @thewha.bsky.social @theherstorian.bsky.social

On June 6, 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy. As we approach the anniversary of D-Day, we're revisiting a 2016 #AHAPerspectives piece by Kevin Wagner on bringing the history of D-Day to life for one of his students.

History is not something that is simply brought out of the archives, dusted off, and displayed as the way life really was.
