If you know Glenn, you know he is full of big ideas including the invention of new words like “stuffs” when the current lexicon doesn’t fully meet his needs.  Join him as he shares his ten best social studies stuffs from 2013.  He shares his first five in this Part I podcast.

* Kahoot, a student response system, allows teachers to post questions online that students can answer using their mobile devices.

* The Memory Hole, a book by Fritz Fischer, chronicles how anti-historians attempt to re-write history in American classrooms to support their political agenda.  It is a must read for all history teachers.

* 12 Years a Slave is a raw but brilliant look at slavery in America.  The historical accuracy makes the film both disturbing and thought provoking.

* Padlet is a communication tool that provides a way for teachers and students to collaborate in a secure online environment.

* 100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People is a book that explores the psychology of design.  It offers great insight for teachers to help them design effective, engaging lessons and materials for their students.
