Up next at #ncph2023 is #s22 about the hard history project, how do we do history education about controversial topics? This will lead well into our #w11 tomorrow at 1pm!

#s22 paraphrase: ‘What if we thought about the fact that the largest population of public historians are k-12 teachers?’ As a high school teacher right now, I’m not sure. What does everyone else think? #NCPH2023

#s22 Watching world premiere video of the hard history project and freedom on the move database in action in the classroom is amazing! Students are really connecting to interactive history through places and art. #NCPH2023

#s22 projects like freedomonthemove.org allow divisive ideas to turn into stories of individuals. That lets students connect and turns the classroom conversation around. #NCPH2023

#s22 using a project building from tinyurl.com/w9rbtur2 to create freedom boxes prior to going to Whitney Plantation. The power of little kids putting themselves in the place! #ncph2023

#s22 how can university and school partnerships work? Have the money, work on teachers schedules, have realistic expectations, talk with the powerful people instead of making the teachers do it! #ncph2023

#s22 three levels of people you need to deal with when doing these hard individual projects: admin, parents, and students. They each need to know they are supported and the teacher is in charge and has created a culture of care. #ncph2023

The open meeting for IFPH-FIHP is about to start-sure to be worth delaying lunch for! This organization hadn’t even been started when I first became an international public historian. #ncph2023

#s33 starting strong with handouts on accessibility resources to go along with their discussion on approaches to digital history projects. #NCPH2023

#s33 Full Spectrum Features creates short history films and accessible interactive educational websites with primary and secondary sources, curriculum materials, and other linked resources created with historical partners. So interesting! #ncph2023

#s33 interesting exercise in listening to video clips with and without audio description. This is accessibility in action. #ncph2023

#s33 working with accessibility consultants and, critically, disabled tech users, gave the digital creators info to create a truly accessible non-linear learning experience that’s equal for everyone. #ncph2023

#s38 speaking about the many levels of ethics around a virtual museum of hunger with an ‘address’ in Washington DC and that gamifies SNAP benefits. #NCPH2023

Grab some lunch and head to #w11, Facilitating Difficult Conversations in an Age of Political Polarization! We will see you in Regency V with lots of useful resources. Come with questions, please! #ncph2023

#w11 is starting in Regency V! Come one, come all! #ncph2023

#w11 is sharing the resources we have collated about teaching with ‘hard’ material culture, oral history, difficult subjects historical subjects, and importantly preventing burnout while doing all of this. #ncph2023

About to take off from a great #NCPH2023. Thanks for an inspiring, joyful, engaging, fun time everyone! Great to be back with everyone again!

Looking for good stats re: enrollment over time in "five-year" master's programs (e.g., 4 years of undergrad + 1; graduate with an M.A.). Higher Ed Twitter, any ideas?

Another The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History summer session in the books. A thousand thanks to the teachers who took my course. As always, it’s y’all’s passion and inquiry that really fuel our time together. I hope I gave you a few things think about, and a few sources. Holla if you need me. Always.

What a great experience this was! I’m still not an American historian, but I am more educated about the long civil rights era and full of things to bring back to the classroom. Thanks for everything, Dr. McKinney and team!
