New Goal for Next Year find more invotative ways to make history fun

I think at the end of each teaching year: How can I improve my teaching methods?  Next year my goal is to use more technology in my teaching.  I want to get the students excited about learning, and I have decided to start using blogging with discussion questions for their homework.  In my county we usually have 20 snow days a year.  If the students can have access to my blog, they can leave comments to the discussion questions.  By using blogging I will be using an e-learning tool that more 21st century compared to the 20th century textbook learning only.

I HAVE DECIDED TO USE WITH MY REGULAR AMERCIAN HISTORY

For one of my graduate classes from Ashford, I have decided to use the blog website for my history class,especially for our discussion of North, Middle, and Southern regions.  The blogs will focus on how each one of these sections developed from the founding, colonial, revolutionary, and American nation experience.

Getting ready to design class blog

Okay, this is my first time using a blog.  I had to design a PowerPoint on blogs for a graduate class, and I have decided to use the blog to teach my AP US History Class Spring 2010.  I really love teaching AP US History.  Teaching this class requires me to challenge myself and my students.
