30,000 Hits!!
On March 1st at around 12:45 PST, this site reached 30,000 hits! Back in early 2009, when this site was established, I had always hoped that we would build a site that students would use, but never imagined that anyone outside our school would find it interesting or even worth their time. Today, we are a sensation, nabbing top spots on related searches with Google; we have teachers from Florida, New York, and Texas listening in, along with Home School students from across the country, who use the Virtual Agenda to complete their work. The success of this site is all due to YOU, those who make this site a daily place to visit, to gain new insights into history, or to find a worksheet for your class. I thank you very much, but promise there's more to come! We're working on creating a podcast, as well as video presentations of the lessons I teach. It's all to help you, so stick around as our site undergoes further improvements.
Thanks!

Teaching you is the most important thing I will ever do.
It is a privilege to work with you every day, and I consider each of you to be unique and full of promise. We live in a world where people move fast and news moves even faster. As your teacher, I am committed to helping you understand how we got here, and where we're going. I approach teaching in a unique way - history is a story, complete with comedy and tragedy, love and hate, and real lessons that can help us live better lives. Those messages are shared through lessons I deliver to you - they can be wrapped in simulations, games, or by simpy reading an old document written from the time period we are studying.
Understanding history is sometimes like looking into a fishbowl: you can see everything, but miss the smallest details and you miss the point! My job is not only to educate, but to inspire you to become better than you were yesterday. Give a man a fish and he'll eat today - teach him how to fish, and he can eat for a lifetime!
Like everything in life, this website is constantly growing - your input into website links, assignments, etc are critical to my site's success. Check back here often, and tell me what I can do to improve. Afterall, the worthy journey is never easy! I'm glad you're accompanying me down this road of history - may your day tomorrow be better than the one lived today.
ROCK ON!
