I have been teaching since 2008 and adding new material every year. I've been trying to create more simulations and making my lessons more thematic.
- I try to break my lessons into 3 different parts. - The "I do, We do, You do" is a useful tool in design. - I never try to do the same thing 2 days in a row. - Notes are an effective form of instruction, but my notes are not more than 10-12 minutes long in a 45 minute class period.
Yet to be added
I graduated from Indiana University with concentrations in US and World History, government, and sociology. Graduate Courses in Economics.
I play RPG's, I love reading (history, science fiction, fantasy, mystery), watch football, baseball, basketball. My wife teaches FACS. My son is 6 and my daughter is 9. I teach in Elkhart County, IN. I'm on twitter @adamationf where I mostly just talk sports and comic books but some EDUCATION so reach out.
