Exciting 2B thinking with history teachers about analogy & explanation @1972shp.bsky.social conference in Leeds 2day with Daniel Magnoff. Gr8 2 revisit the focus of my 1st SHP conference presentation in 2006 (the Alphonse the camel analogical story) in that context with new empirical data. #SHP26.
Interesting discussion of the affordances and constraints of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to history education @1972shp.bsky.social with @uclholocaust.bsky.social and @cpaucl.bsky.social’s Dr Andy Pearce. #SHP26
Beautiful artwork @1972shp.bsky.social @historyrichk.bsky.social @teachmedwomen.bsky.social (they did only have 25 mins)
Two examples of why the @1972shp.bsky.social conference helps build reflection. @marnieh-w.bsky.social and @profdanhicks.bsky.social talking about AI, assessment and public memory.
@marnieh-w.bsky.social’s keynote @1972shp.bsky.social’s annual conference today was remarkable. Lots of synergy between Marnie’s themes - e.g., responsible use of AI tools and narratives - and the wider themes of the conference. #SHP26 1/3
