About Me
I'm a 34 year veteran fighting the good fight on the front lines of the high school English classroom.

I do tons of presentations on technology in the Language Arts classroom. Currently my main Classroom 2.0 efforts are focused on my website, GoogleLitTrips.com where teachers and their students can post Lit Trips they've created using Google Earth to track the journeys of great literature.

I'm an Apple Distinguished Educator and a Google Certified Teachers.

    Hi Jerome. I was wondering if you and your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

    Hi Jerome,
    I just finished a Google Earth lesson for my website that uses Vocaroo audio links. It was very easy to use and the audio quality seems acceptable. It would work best in placemarks as narration because GE wont allow the audio file to play while using other tools simultaneously. Not my best effort, but here is a link to the lesson where you can find the Kmz file.
