About Me

My photo
I am a middle school teacher with about a 10 years of experience in the classroom teaching Language Arts, History, and Humanities. I believe that by providing them with real connections between the curriculum and the world around us, students experience more ownership and authenticity in their learning. The answers to the perennial questions about why history, or any subject, is important can be found in the headlines, galleries, and voices that will be featured on this page.

From Newsweek: Lost in Electronica

Great read from Newsweek posted below. 

Do we fight it or join it?  How can we combat this reality in the classroom?  As teachers, we are always fighting against the powers of boredom. 

Reflection, discussion, writing, and high standards are probably a good start...
