Hello - I’ve worked it Social Studies for 17 years at Lewis & Clark High School in Spokane, WA teaching grade 9 and grade 12 courses in World History and Current World Affairs. My bachelor’s degree is in Social Studies Education earned at Washington State University (1994) and a master’s degree in Education (2008).
The basics surrounding creation of this website are:
1) it is a requirement for "Teachers for Global Classrooms" participants through IREX and the U.S. Department of State,
2) use of technology tools at is increasing frequency in the classroom, and
3) moving toward global education fluency requires connectivity and a personal learning stretch.
Creating this webpage, vlog, blog, and pages demonstrates new skills. The current generation is seen as "digital natives." Drop the "t" making me digital naive. I am accepting the challenge of viewing this site from a "growth" mentality, not fixed.
