Officially moving to

What a flash! 🚀 Wrapping up HIST 1302 with low-tech engaging and active reviews, lively discussions, and a final that's all about civic engagement and diving deeper into the most fabulous frontera del mundo. From puzzles and posters to El Paso's hidden histories and giving back.

El Paso represent! We're so proud of all EP & TX Hist. Day participants. SUPER thrilled our talented Spartan, Ana Sofia, is a National History Day qualifier. HUGE thanks to Dr. Cartwright, Yvonne Rolph, @Mrs_Flores_VVEC and UTEP personnel for their support. 👏 #NHD #ElPasoProud

It's game time here! Students are at their stations ready for performance and interviews at Texas History Day 😃.

. and on Saturdays we do #History 🤓 @VVECHSYISD representing. The most valuable lesson: civic engagement with rights and responsibilities from @NationalHistory. Thanks to #UTEPEvents for hosting the day when History is not not "just a day." Congrats to all EP state qualifiers!

I am beyond thrilled to be representing El Paso at this year's Young People's Continental Congress alongside my amazing student. 🚨Proud teacher and a total nerd 🤓 indulgence for me! What an opportunity to engage in civic discourse with people from all corners of this country!

Last 3 minutes of class and everyone is up because it's the last 1,000 pts. Smells like review season and we're keeping it dynamic with @curipodofficial, #FigmaEdu, @PlayBlooket good- old- fashioned jeopardy games and speed "dating" with the Progressives. b/c Hist matters

Hey @drrios thanks for the tech recommendations during @TCEA app smackdown. Who would have thought you were such a good dancer 😂! Actual footage from TCEA 2025 Smackdown below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #TCEA

So ready for #TCEA tech tool smackdown.

How do you know it's your first time at #TCEA ? 🤯🤯🤯🤯 You get lost in the moment and forget the pictures. What a grand time learning ALL things AI, collaboration, student agency. and on and on. Thanks to @raiz_us for supporting local educators on their professional growth.

Shared a great time with fellow social studies colleagues at the third annual West Texas Social Studies Congress hosted by @ESCRegion19. Taking risks, keeping a happy inner 🤓 and meeting our kids where they are contributes to our collective service to society. #History✊🤘

RT @EDTech_CISD: I love the Holiday Break! Family, dogs, food - always the best. Now I’m back & excited for my upcoming presentation at #TC….

Finals can be tough, but some students really shine! 🌟 So proud of these young scholars for taking on the EPCC Honors Program challenge and successfully defending their History research in front of a panel. You all crushed it! 🎉 #mentorthefuture #EPCCProud #HistoryRocks

Hello! This year our students are participating in National History Day. The theme is fire and their projects are shaping to be top contenders! If you or someone in your circle would like to support these scholars with registration and travel fees, kindly swipe or reach out! 🤓

I had a blast doing this! 🤓🤓 Did I have to? No. But I am certainly grateful to be able to. Thanks to my friends and family for always supporting me. Especially @Coach_Obed, you're the best camera man! 😆

Getting my creative on this morning with @AdobeForEdu tools with @jcampos2018 and @misty2shea Can't wait to share this tool with History Scholars.

And just like that. October is ⚰️💀. This month students took the podium for midterms, engaged in civic discourse with peers and at EPCC, and ran the mock elections. We even squeezed a bit of lotería fun to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month 🎉. November here we come!
