Well, to all my faithful readers up to this point, it may seem that much has changed since my last post.  This particular blog is in its 3rd incarnation since its inception in late September, 2009.  Originally meant to be a blog for all my classes, passing on information to my students, it then was set aside as two new blogs, one each for American and World History, were created.  Now, I have decided that given recent events, it behooves me to resuscitate this blog with and new name and a new purpose. 
As of today, as the title description says, this blog will now be a chronicle of the process this writer goes through in implementing 21st century teaching in his classroom.  Needless to say being born in the early 60's, going through K-12 in the late 60's and through the 70's, I came from a dissimilar form of education.  There were no PC's, no Internet, no DVD's, cellphones, iPods or podcasting.  Much has changed since I was a sophomore in High School, let me tell you.  The way I learned, the teacher talked and you listened, period.  That sort of thing will not fly now, as I learned the hard way a few years ago.  Thus, I am a newcomer to the new way of teaching and learning.  I completely believe in it because I have seen it work in the small ways I have implemented it. 
Suffice it to say then that 21st century learning is as much of a Learning experience for me as it is for my students.
