Webcasts Exploring Impact of 9/11
Produced for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, the Exploring 9/11 webcast series considers the continuing impact of the events of 9/11 on the United States and the global community. Through interviews, scholars and experts articulate a wide range of views on 9/11, including its origins and ramifications. They also discuss how meaning is made of the past and how this process evolves over time. Although the speakers do not always agree with one another, teachers can use these diverse perspectives to reflect on 9/11 and its continued—and sometimes contested—relevance. A study guide for the classroom accompanies each interview. Topics include Memory and Memorialization, Building the Memorial & Museum, 9/11 and Its Aftermath, and Middle East History and Security.

Focus & Engage: How Edtech Can Boost Student Outcomes
With the widespread integration of interactive technologies and persistent noise pollution, students and teachers are in distracting and often uncomfortable environments to learn and teach. In a recent survey by Logitech and Education Week, 74% of teachers agreed that students’ level of physical comfort while using educational technology impacts their level of engagement in learning “some” or “a lot.” Research shows that when educators are equipped with the right tools, student engagement and learning outcomes can increase. Join Logitech, edWeb, and CoSN to learn practical and creative edtech strategies and actionable tips to overcome today’s classroom challenges.

Ava DuVernay, the filmmaker behind films for television and theaters, including When They See Us, Colin in Black & White, and Queen Sugar, has released a free online resource that includes lesson plans, or “learning companions,” which teachers can use to accompany instruction about her films.BROWSE TOPICS
