Syria: The shaping of a nation, then and now
In the early 20th century, Syria was part of a region redrawn by outside forces.

Life in a Inquiry Driven, Technology-Embedded, Connected Classroom: Science
I teach in an inquiry, project-based, technology embedded classroom. A mouthful, I know. So what does that mean? It means I lecture less, and my students explore more. It means that I create a classroom where students encounter concepts, via labs and other methods, before they necessarily understand all the specifics of what is happening.
