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!



LIFE's Amazing Resource

Designing a new presentation? Need raw material for student research? For a treasure trove of (mostly unpublished) images, try the new Life Photo Archive hosted by Google. LIFE magazine's catalogued images number in the millions and easily reach all the way back to the 1750s.


The image below actually contains live links. Click on any decade to see a sampling of images, which will show up as a Google image search tagged with a green LIFE keyword.
