Love the idea of teaching with Primary Sources but Primary Sources are not just Library of Congress archives. A bus ticket or subway token can be a primary source. Show and tell is an example of teaching with a primary source, and helps students use 21St Century Skills when planning their presentations. As educators we must get on the rocket that is 21st Century Learning or we will get left behind. And if we are left behind so are our students and that can't happen!

21st Century Learning
I think maybe these guys got it right. We need to start thinking outside the box in education.

RIP Walter Cronkite
What I liked most about Walter Cronkite was that he was a human being. He showed real emotion when President Kennedy was killed in Texas.
It is hard to believe this was 40 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. Walter Cronkite will be missed.
