World War I and World War II

The topic at our last TAH Cohort was World War I and World War II. The day was very affective and engaging.  At the bottom of this blog there will be some links that may help you as you teach about WWI and WWII.  The "Handouts" link will contain all the handouts given at cohort that day. The "PowerPoint" links will contain the Shane's presentation. You must have the username and password to access the handouts and Powerpoints due to copyright agreements (we need our TAH teachers to be careful not to distribute the username and password so that we will be able to continue providing digital resources). We will provide many other ideas and resources for teachers on the topic that will be opensource, or linked information.  If you have some great resources or ideas for teaching these subjects, we would love to hear from you! Leave a comment and if there is something you want me to upload, just send an email.

American History Goes Digital

In our rapidly changing digital world, we are playing catch-up.  This blog is intended to give resources and ideas to teachers who teach K-12 American History.  Some material will require a username and password because it is only open to certain people due to copyright and participation in certain classes.  Opensource items will be available to all.
