... or...

... how participation in an online virtual community has impacted one teacher's understanding of history, and how that has been reflected in actual classroom instruction.

Augusta has returned!

It has been such a long time since I have posted anything here, and it is now time to start this blog up and running again.

Many of you who are educators know that the time can be the ultimate villain.  We generally work 7.5 hours a day, but have more work to get accomplished than can ever fit in that amount of time.  Our classes are getting bigger, as are the expectations that everyone seems to have of us.  Toss in a few inconvenient personal or family issues, and what teachers have is a recipe for disaster.  Think of it as working a full year's worth of work, but you get to cram it into a 10-month time frame.

In my case, it has meant an unfortunate pulling back from some of my online endeavors.  With the end of the school year approaching, I am hoping to get back to them.  And that includes my blog.

And do I have some interesting things planned, too!
