I have a bit of bias here but this workshop from @gemmaehistory.bsky.social will be amazing. Don’t miss out.
#2 Gemma Ellis will be revisiting her workshop from the 2025 SHP Summer Conference to help you to immerse your students in historical interpretations. Feedback from the workshop said "Practical examples & quick wins I can implement easily" and "equipped me with a wide range of practical strategies".

Watched episode 1 this morning - absolutely superb. Great sound and fascinating history of one of the best bands there’s ever been.
I’m hugely enjoying The Beatles Anthology on Disney — the remastered audio sounds great with big telly surround sound. Man, that band was so tight even when they couldn’t hear a thing for all the screaming fans

The complete Bayeux Tapestry has finally been released and proves that Bishop Odo had absolutely nothing to do with the illegal Norman invasion of England.
