Trying New Things


It is always fun to try new things.  This year I am in a new classroom, although I have to say it was my old classroom some 18 years ago, and I am teaching a course I have never taught before, Current Events.  I have been experimenting with a new timeline website for use in my new Current Events class.  Dipity.com allows one to create a timeline of events that incorporates text, graphics, and video.  I created an example for students so I could learn how it worked and so they would have something to follow.  It has been a lot of fun posting daily updates about my (old) American History class in a fresh, new way.  Check it out on the following link and stay posted for student timelines to be posted at a later date.
