About Me: I have been a teacher since the early 80's. I guess I have grown as the technology grew. I teach social studies. I think this subject is the perfect venue for applying technology in a creative way.

I have two children - a son who is 20 and an 13 year old daughter. I am always posting her singing videos because I am so proud of her. My son has decided to become a History teacher - he is majoring in Secondary Ed.

Accelerated Reading, Boys and Middle School

After months of work, I have finally finished my Action Research project. It hasn't been graded yet but, here is a copy if you are interested.

I basically changed the reading time for my class full of boys to see what effect it would have on their reading. I also kept a behavior log and did a survey to find out more about their attitudes towards reading. I was surprised by a few of the results.

If you need help getting boys to read, maybe this will help you.

I have down loaded your AR study. I am a fan of sustained silent reading. Many thanks, I will quote you to my staff.

With your interest in Technology Application for Social Studies, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.

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!
