About Me: Trevor Owens is the technology evangelist for Zotero, at the Center for History and New Media. Zotero is a open-source research tool for the Firefox web browser.

Trevor received his undergraduate degree in history and the history of science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is currently working on a master's degree in history at George Mason University.

Outside traditional historical scholarship, Trevor is interested in video games as a new media.

My name’s David and I’m a history teacher in Queensland, Australia. I use a lot of podcasting and online tools with my classes and am always looking for new ideas to use.
I host a group on diigo (it’s similar to delicious and very popular with teachers) for history teachers to share links, ideas and resources. It’s at http://groups.diigo.com/groups/history-teachers.
Please come along and join and share any sources or resources you use with the rest of us. See you there.
Regards,
David Hilton
