Ideas and Strategies for Teachers from Tom Mullaney
I am honored to share that I am the Talking Social Studies podcast’s first guest in 2019! I spoke with two of the show’s hosts, Amy Presley and Chris Hitchcock. We spoke at length about Google’s non-core apps such as Expeditions, Earth, My Maps, and Tour Creator for geography and Autodraw, Chrome Canvas, Jamboard, and Keep for drawing.
