Classroom Connection: Society of Forgotten Explorers

Becca Horowitz

The Explorers Club shared stories from the Society of Forgotten Explorers, to highlight individuals whose contributions were overlooked in the history of exploration.

We want to hear what you're going to carry with you on your teaching expedition:

  • What stood out to you from the stories of Ibn Battuta, Benedict of Poland, and Mau Piailug?
  • What kind of mindsets do you hope to cultivate in students learning about explorers?
  • How do you help students switch scale to the level of individuals when learning history?

    Well, I've just gone down the rabbit hole of this amazing website, and I'm truly bummed I missed the event! I think about how the cumulative efforts, ideas, and sharing of theories have propelled us to make new discoveries. If people don't share their theories, we can't accept them, disprove them, or move them forward.

    That said, it's critical to highlight the voices and contributions that lead to discoveries. I can't think of many instances where a solitary individual made a discovery. Collective learning made it happen.
