Welcome back to Schoolopolis! I hope you are all staying safe and healthy. Since my last update to this site, I’ve retired from school teaching and dedicated my life to nonprofit work while raising my children. With this Pandemic now a reality, I decided to quickly return to providing you with plenty of online learning resources and other information to help make things more bearable during this crisis. So come back soon and often, and let’s enjoy our time here.
We are WAAAAAY overdue for updates.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, the following link will allow you to download a list of online resources devoted to women’s history and achievement. I hope you will find it useful all year long.
Black History is World History!!!
*Updated February 9, 2021
Below is a pdf file with many great web links for teaching and learning about African history. Everyone, let’s please make sure we keep ourselves knowledgeable, year-round, of the contributions made by the African diaspora throughout the ages. This is vital. From the cradle of civilization to the cutting edge inventions and other achievements, the story of Africans worldwide is amazing! Yet, too seldom are these stories told.
I hope 2018 brings us all an enlightened year of technology-enhanced educational excellence.
Wishing everyone a happy, safe and joyous holiday season and a most prosperous new year!
The Goal of Instructional/Educational Technology:
In order to secure the best odds for the greatest number of students to perform at the highest levels of sustained achievement, we must work as collaborative educators to provide the most enriching and inspiring instructional environments, where children can and will explore, within various technological frontiers…and beyond!
