I know no one else teaches Malaya but I spent quite long on these maps so I am quite proud of them😂there is a dearth of accessible sources on British Malaya so I am gonna use lots of historical fiction next year✌️ #historyteacher #GoogleSlides

Summary of origins of the Cold War, and the Korean War #historyteacher

Included anime characters in worksheets although they have nothing to do with history (these two are from Haikyuu which is quite a popular anime I believe) 😅 #historyteacher

Lots of interest in the chapter summaries so here it is. Sorry I used non-standard fonts so it's gonna look wonky! I do feel a need to say... I'm just a regular teacher and my resources are not that great, it's all trial and error (usually error) 🚧🤷🚧 tinyurl.com/y5ynak4p

My cards arrived... Time to add these to my British Malaya starter pack 😎 students can read out the facts to each other and guess who the card is! #historyteacher

Been cracking my head thinking about how to teach the Cuban Missile Crisis... argh!

Sometimes I feel a bit down and out but these kids are the best 😊

Digitised a murder mystery lesson on Kirov only to realise I will never use it again... Stalin's being removed from our syllabus next year. Completed this one with help from an SHP textbook or two, Slidesmania, and loads of inspiration from Edutwitter. docs.google.com/presentation/d…

Yesterday during an exam I removed a bee from a student's hair without harm to the student, the bee, or the exam proceedings, and that might be one of my greatest achievements to date.

Early challenges faced by the Weimar government - used this for online learning. I didn't include the Munich Putsch though - that's for next time :) docs.google.com/presentation/d…

Have been working on some maps recently (trying to find interwar maps that photocopy well is quite hard) they're not perfect but they'll do! #historyteacher

oh but how things are changing in 2024... 21st century competencies, inquiry/ discovery learning and critical thinking everywhere. Everywhere. 😭

Education that prioritises "21st-century skills" over content knowledge is like teaching someone to fish by removing all the fish from the lake. You can't think critically about nothing, collaborate meaningfully around ignorance, or create innovatively from an empty vessel.
