DR. JAMES R. BEEGHLEY

Gettysburg

My name is James Beeghley, and I am an educational technologist, a blogger, education consultant and keynote speaker. I specialize in integrating technology into the social studies with a particular interest in the American Civil War.

I’m passionate about helping educators think differently about what teaching and learning can be in today’s classrooms.  I enjoy nothing better than working with teachers and students and showing them ideas that allow them to get excited about learning and doing things they never thought was possible.
