Welcome!

This weblog will document my activities as a New Trier High School social studies instructor and GCT (Google Certified Teacher). What I'd like to feature includes:
  1. Tools which transform instruction, not just tools for the sake of using existing technology
  2. Applications of these tools to my own teaching in the classroom
  3. Demonstrating how the fair use of copyrighted materials can enhance digital learning and media literacy
I am available for speaking engagements. My specialties are Social Studies and Multimedia Integration, as well as Copyright and Fair Use advocacy. Feedback and questions from any visitor is very much appreciated!




Code of Best Practices in Fair Use

Just released. I will comment further once I've digested this document from the Center for Social Media of American University and the Media Education Lab of Temple University.

UPDATE: Here is an edited version of a presentation I gave at the NICE (Northern Illinois Computing Educators) Conference in February, 2009. More recently, I have presented this material at the IETC (Illinois Education and Technology Conference) in November, 2009, and at both ICE (Illinois Computing Educators) and CUE (Computer-Using Educators) conferences in February and March, 2010, respectively.
