Nate Noorlander – Making History Engaging

by

Nate Noorlander, from the Nomadic Professor, joined me for this week’s episode.  The Nomadic Professor is an online, non-partisan, high school history courses that teach students the core narrative and all of its accompanying skills: taking notes, making original judgments, reasoning with evidence, reading between the lines, following a rubric, writing a defensible argument, working with bias, and much, much more.
