Adventures in History Class: Innovative Workspaces

After 15 years as a high school history & social studies teacher in Omaha, NE, I am now transitioning to a new position as an Instructional Technology Consultant in central Iowa. I plan to continue this blog as a mixture of history/social studies content and educational technology tips, hints, and ideas.

My teaching experience includes many different levels of history classes (credit recovery, academic, honors, and AP) in various settings (traditional, blended, and online). I am also experienced in curriculum development for online and traditional classes.

I strive to develop student-centered, inquiry-based lessons and curriculum that emphasize the importance of student analysis and critical thinking. I am also a big believer in the effective integration of educational technology. My new position affords me more opportunities to explore the field of educational technology and my future posts will most likely include a mixture of history, technology, and general education-related content.
