Genium Publishers published my book Pocket Guide to the Internet for Teachers in April, 1999. You can read an on-line version at http://www.genium.com/ipgt/

If you want to read the book on-line, you'll need the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you can download for free.

I have posted the following sections of the first manuscript on-line Using the World Wide Web . 

Please let me know what you think!

My (1997) summer reading has consisted of Edward Linenthal's book Preserving Memory: The Struggle To Create America's Holocaust Museum.

I hope you'll take a look at my review of this fascinating work. If you have ever visited the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the book may be of interest to you.

Additionally, I have posted a lesson plan entitled "The History of the Holocaust From A Personal Perspective." The lesson contains a series of activities for the secondary Holocaust Educator. I hope you'll review and criticize the lesson via e-mail.

You can also see it on the Microsoft Encarta lesson Plan site as well!

An article entitled Social Studies and the World Wide Web has also been posted here. It was delivered at the Connected Classroom Conference as a presentation on using the Internet in Social Studies instruction. Your feedback is welcome!

Cooperative learning is not just for kids. In 1995, I helped Nicole Ellefson of the University of Michigan develop a web page for the LETSnet Project. Click on the link with my name at left once the page has loaded.

A recent trip to Washington, DC with my Dutch cousin David yielded this web site: The Monuments of Washington, DC- A Virtual Field Trip

 Thanks to the National Park Service for their information, and to Lee A. and Rob M. for working so hard on the project. I hope you'll take a look!
