Information About My Classes
I teach 8th grade social studies in Hawaii. The curriculum covers the history of democracy, the American founding and an examination of the structure of the American system of government. My students also participate in Project Citizen. I'm extremely lucky to work in a one-to-one laptop school so we use the Mac almost everyday. We use Moodle, iLife series, podcasts, and the Smartboard.
