Website

This is my educational website for my technology class. It presents information on Federal Elections and the process by which candidates must go through to be elected to federal office. Most of the pictures have links to the official sites so feel free to explore the official sites for information. I enjoyed the process and I hope you find the information presented interesting.

Video Project

This is my assignment for 12th Grade government class. Students are to create a political campaign ad to showcase what they think are important characteristics and traits for elected officials. I enjoyed creating the videos and I feel that the students would like this opportunity to create a project instead of taking notes from a lecture. I look forward to starting this assignment in the classroom.

K-12 Wiki

Link to Wiki

This is my contribution to the K-12 wiki site. It is an assignment compilation between social studies and English to team teach Uncle Tom's Cabin. The students will compare their knowledge of slave life in early-America versus what is presented in the novel. I like using the wiki as a resource to get new ideas for lessons into a rotation and "bag of tricks" I have available. New ways to present material is always important to keep students on their toes and not to get into a "rut" of learning. I found a lot of the lesson plans helpful and I look forward to using them as I continue with my educational career. Thanks to Matt Dunlap for creating this wiki for teachers to share ideas.
