Building slides to describe a letter-writing activity in Crime & Justice class last year with the help of Sphere Education Initiative, so I asked AI to "create an image of high school students holding letters while they talk to police officers." This is what it made. 😂🤦‍♀️

🌕 "One small step for man..." started (like many things) with paperwork. The Space Act (signed #OTD in 1958) and a photo of the Moon Landing are both in America’s #100Docs. But which was more significant to our nation's trajectory? YOU get to decide: 100docs.vote

What a day at National Archives Foundation's #ArchivesInstitute! We explored gems from Legislative Archives (incl Thurgood Marshall's and Sandra Day O'Connor's respective SC nominations) and met with ed staff from Presidential libraries. The Banning letter from Truman Library is brutal! 😳

If you build it, they will come... Did you know the U.S. National Archives finished the Charters of Freedom rotunda before it actually acquired the DOI, BOR, and Constitution? For decades it displayed other things, like WWII surrender documents! National Archives Foundation #archivesinstitute

It's that time of year! Request free Civic Calendars from National Constitution Center for you, your colleagues, your friends, your students, even your frenemies. They could all benefit from some Constitutional knowledge 😉 constitutioncenter.org/forms/request-…

A co-worker and I realized we were about 30 rows apart at the same baseball game today, so we caught up for half an inning and unlocked an introvert's favorite way to catch a game with friends Introvert Problems

Teachers and National Constitution Center staff worked so hard developing and piloting this (and teasing it at workshops), and it's finally here! Middle school teachers, don't miss it 👇

This week in history, in 1776, the Second Continental Congress replaced the term “United Colonies” with the “United States of America”—uniting 13 colonies under one bold name and shared history. 🇺🇸 What makes you proud to be an American today?
