My Students

What can I say about my students? They are the brightest and best young minds in the entire state! My students have big dreams about their futures which includes college and giving back to their community.

My students love to learn!

My students connect to learning through technology which helps them better understand history. In fact it is when I use technology in our lessons that they grasp more of the themes and content that helps them be better prepared to take their Advanced Placement College Board exams.

My Project

After over a year off campus, my students are ready for the adventure of learning face to face. Last year I used an awesome resource, Nearpod, that my students really loved. With this in mind I want to have access to this versatile resource again. I need your help to purchase the yearly subscription.

There are not many tech resources that my students are excited about but Nearpod is one they all love.

I use Nearpod to introduce a lesson as well as a way to check for their understanding of history content. It is also an interactive way for my students to review before their College Board exam.

As a result of CDC protocols we are not able to take field trips. Through the magic of Nearpod's technology, we can travel to historic places not just in the United States but all over the world. Although the lessons in Nearpod cover a variety of topics, I can also create lessons specifically based on the content of my courses.
