Taking a moment to wish all of my readers a Happy New Year.

I also wanted to give you a heads up on some upcoming posts:

• Part 3 of Teaching the Gettysburg Address
• A review of some iPod Touch/iPad apps
• More on getting kids to act like historians
• A book review
• Some screencast how-to posts
• A podcast (yes, I know, finally).

I have been doing quite a bit of behind the scenes work on some things and hope to post more frequently and with more variety in the New Year.

Until 2011,

Jim

Hello Everyone,

Just a note to say that the blog is now back online.  I had some issues for a few weeks but they seem to be resolved.  New posts coming soon.

Thanks for staying tuned in…

Jim

Just a quick note to remind you that back in 2008, I was interviewed by Dave Solon (http://k12geek.com/blog/) about my blog.

This interview was for his Twenty Minutes for Tech podcast.

Thought you might enjoy listening sometime when you have a few minutes: http://www.twentyfortech.com/?p=9

Also, in January of this year I did an interview with Kevin Honeycutt for his Driving Questions podcast.   It’s a bit long but the conversation is great and goes in several different directions.  Check it out on the Driving Questions website<

Until next time….
