If you'll be attending #NCSS2024 in Boston next weekend, we hope you'll consider attending the #sschat unconference Saturday morning. It starts at 9:45 and goes until 11:15 but you can dip in as you can. We'll be in Room 200. Hope to see you there!

Nick and Hannah are awesome!!! ❤️

Bill, we know you are up there continuing to teach the history of angels 😇 and the afterlife, probably integrating a podcast, 🎧 website 💻 or AI 🧠 somehow—we will miss you! Thank you for the impact you have had on us, and on our students. 🫂

This week, feel free to share your memories or appreciation for Bill using #sschat in your posts. 💜

Some of us were fortunate to meet Bill in person at the #sschat unconferences at NCSS and other conferences, while others were friends via #sschat and other online interactions. 👥🧑🏽‍🏫👥👩🏼‍💻👥🧑🏽‍💻

He also maintained a website classroomtools.org where he shared tools and resources long after he retired from the classroom so that current social studies teacher could benefit from his years of experience. 🧑🏻‍🏫

Bill posted as @classroomtools for many years, first on Twitter (X) and most recently making the move towards Bluesky. 🦋Bill was a frequent contributor to our traditional weekly Monday night chats, and supported our move in recent months to a slow chat format on Bluesky.

Dear#sschat Community Members: It is with a heavy heart that the SSChat moderators learned today that one of our long-time #sschat contributors and community members, Bill Chapman, passed away this weekend for health related reasons.

No specific chat after #engsschat

Please share ideas, resources, strategies, etc. that you came across at #ncss2024 #ncss24. If you were unable to come to Boston, what questions do you have about the conference? What would you like to get information about? We are also sharing on 🦋.

It's #sschat unconference day! Please join us in Room 200 at 9:45 for personalized PD with other social studies educators. #ncss2024 #ncss24

Thank you for your continued participation!
