Ms. Jewell Kleman has been teaching history/social studies to public middle and high school students for 20+ years. Her teaching insights, however are spot on in today’s quarantined circumstances. Here are the resources cited in her interview. “Youtube has been a welcome addition to enticing students to think more critically and to spark their curiosity. As all teachers already know, it is critical to preview to make sure the material is appropriate for your age group. I have had success with using Crash Course but you do need to slow the speed down because the different presenters tend to speak quickly. Ted Talks are also great resources. If you teach World History, I highly recommend the historyteachers https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAiABuhVSMZJMqyv4Ur5XqA. They take modern songs and change the words to explain historical events. My former high school students loved that.” “Outside of youtube, I suggest https://www.kqed.org/education videos. It presents a variety of topics and allows students to debate them. CNN10 is also a good resource for a quick review of events around the world. If you have the funds, I also suggest https://www.flocabulary.com/subjects/social-studies/ and study.com. They both offer animated lessons on social studies topics. They are expensive.” ~ Jewell Kleman
