About Me: I am a senior history teacher at a private school in Queensland, Australia. I am very interested in sharing ideas and resources to support excellence in history teaching.

Thanks so much for your welcome message. Sorry, I'm a little slow getting back with you. I can't wait to get involved in this ning.

In the mean time, I am looking for a class anywhere in the world that is interesting in a skype long distance debate with my class this semester. I teach 8th grade U.S. History. Last year we debated against Terry Parent's class out of Hollywood, California. The topic was Democratic Republicans vs. Federalists. I would like to repeat this event yearly. Perhaps even more than once a year. Anyone interested...especially a class in a time zone that is closer to us, please email me at susan.gorman@gcisd.net. I am in Central Time Zone.

I do have a team working on lesson plan ideas and we are hoping our group site will become a bit more active in the near future.

At 2:16pm on June 9, 2009, Sue Ashbaugh said…: Thanks David. I will certainly take you up on your offer. I may not - probably won't - have a thing to share, but I'm always looking for new ideas and this is just the kind of "place" I was hoping to find. Sue

I'm going to check it out! History is the only subject I do not teach, but I'll get my teammate Amy Ertel (also a member) on the site as well.
We will be sharing lots as the school year starts in August.

Looks like that we both have a similar interest in curriculum excellence, which in the American public system has its problems and I strongly prefer teaching outside the box. To answer your question, I am still in the learning process about tying educational technology to the history curriculum. I will stop by and check out the ideas that are posted and discover some that I would like to use next school year.
