Hello all!
My name is Courtney and I’m a social studies teacher at the high school level. I work in a school south of Pittsburgh, PA. I teach high school students, mainly grades 9, 11, and 12, American Government, Sociology and an online Community Service course. I love the school I teach in and the students I teach!
I was a Penn State undergraduate student at main campus. I completed my degree in ’07. I’m back taking master’s courses to complete a second degree with the university.
Because I am a part of our technology team at our high school, I am very familiar with Web 2.0 tools but look forward to learning more and sharing them with my colleagues! 🙂 I am currently working on a project with my 9th graders – who are creating wikispaces for their own political parties.
I look forward to spending the summer with all of you!
Courtney
Your online community service course sounds interesting. Can you tell us a little bit more about it (e.g., types of instructional activities, grade level, etc.)?
