Do I have an awesome book for you to preorder! You can hear all about it in my latest podcast, linked in the above menu or you can listen to the embedded episode OR you can listen from wherever you stream podcasts. In the latest book review episode, I talk to Karalee Wong Nakatsuka and Laurel Aguilar-Kirchhoff about their upcoming publication, “Bring History and Civics to Life: Lessons and Strategies to Cultivate Informed, Empathetic Citizens.”  Their book is an invitation to history, civics, and social studies teachers (and all teachers, actually!) to bring empathy, educational technology, and community into the classroom.  Karalee & Laurel offer teachers, from beginners to the most advanced, ways to make their classrooms places where representation matters and educational technology can be used to help drive learning and social-emotional learning skills.  You really don’t want to miss this episode or miss out on reading their fantastic book. The book is published by The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and is set to come out in August 2022.

Airlifted, Uplifted: Operation Babylift, Transracial Adoptees, and the Classroom – The Teaching History Her Way Podcast

Send us a textIn this deeply personal and powerful episode of Teaching History Her Way, I sit down with my friend and colleague, Amy Mai Tierney, to discuss her experience as one of the many children brought to the United States through Operation Babylift at the end of the Vietnam War. Amy Mai shares her story of growing up as a transracial adoptee, how she uses history to understand her identity, and the questions that still remain. We explore why it’s essential for history teachers—and all educators—to acknowledge and understand the unique experiences of transracial adoptees in their classrooms. You won't want to miss this conversation full of insight, emotion, and inspiration.Let's be friends and continue the conversation!Instagram: @teachinghistoryherwayX: http://www.twitter.com/historyherwayOn the Web/Blog: https://www.teachinghistoryherway.comFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/teachinghistoryherwayBlueSky: @historyherway.bsky.socialSupport the production of the Teaching History Her Way Podcast by purchasing some really great history tees.
