My History Edu Resource Website...

I don’t know if I have written about my history education website that I put together not so long ago. It is a pretty good resource that I was challenged to assemble for a course I took at ASU. It’s called TCS Toolbox, TCS standing for “The Creation Shop.” I included several learning/lesson plans for secondary ed history teachers, a page will a ka-zillion links to some good history websites, write-ups on my experiences with local museums and the National History Day, an audio podcast I did with a friend of mine who is originally from Nigeria, etc,...
