About Me
I have taught high school English for 26 years (sponsored literary magazines, school newspaper, and chaired the English Department), before becoming a Technology Coordinator for 6 year. I have also taught professional development classes and workshops. During 2007-2008, I reluctantly returned to the classroom to teach 9th grade English (see Harper edublog link below).

    Hi Gary,

    With your work in online technology I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Good luck with your ninth grade English clsses, I teach 11th and 12th grade AP US History and Economics.

    Hi Gary!

    Happy New Year! I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a nationwide Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from Illinois!

    You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

    Gary,

    Keep on speaking the truth! I see the similarities in all organizations, heavy pay at the top, passing the responsibilities and blame on the base. It is politics, not administration.
