💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🎒🏞️ The Smithsonian traces backpack #design from a two-million-year-old practice to Ötzi’s hazel-and-board frame around 3300 BCE, then follows improvements through a #CivilWar cavalry officer’s patented canvas-and-metal pack, a #Duluth #canoe-hauling design, #aluminum-frame #mountaineering models, and the nylon #JanSport that made the #backpack a school staple. Roughly 450 million are sold annually.

We know that educators who relied on the The World Factbook as a reference for teaching geography are reeling at the news that it has been taken offline.

We've put together a collection of other free, online resources that can help fill that gap, along with our best regional geography lessons (which are also free!)

Take a look and please share this with your educator friends.

We see that Antisemitism is in the headlines again. We created a resource specifically for teaching about contemporary Antisemitism & its ties to white supremacy. The lesson uses recent, high profile examples from the US but the framework can be adapted for any country. Recommended for grades 9-12, higher ed & adult ed. Get it as part of our Schindler's List film guide or download it as a standalone lesson.

Like all of our resources, this lesson is free for everyone.

In the first of what they hope will become regular #HeritageFairs, Grade 9 #students from Maani Ulujuk Ilinniarvik school in #RankinInlet explored #Canadian figures & conflicts and how they relate to #Inuit #cultural values.

A #heritage fair is like a science fair but for #SocialStudies, said teacher Sarah Bruckschwaiger.
