Tired of the using the same old photos to teach about the Great Depression? Try this one from the Library of Congress! I recommend using the QFT strategy from @rightquestioninst.bsky.social to elicit student questions as an introduction to the topic. www.loc.gov/item/2014680...

It's the anniversary of the 1839 Amistad mutiny, in which a group of African captives revolted against the crew of the ship sailing them illegally toward enslavement.
These sketches of some of the captives are from the World Digital Library, operated by UNESCO & the Library. 🧵

Wondrous first full day of #ncss2024!
We always forget how HUGE this event always feels, but really it's the *tiny* moments
of run-ins with colleagues from far away
of connections with strangers at an exhibition booth
of epiphanies when someone says a thing during a session
That's all priceless
