and I'm the technology teacher at Shepherd of the Hills Christian School in Centennial, CO.

I have a heart and passion for technology and for educational ministry for our Lord Jesus Christ.

This blog is a natural result of these unique interests. I have 20 years of teaching experience in Lutheran schools, the last five exclusively as a technology teacher.

I seek to use the talents that God has given me to enhance His Kingdom in new, exciting, and creative ways, utilizing the technology tools with which we have been blessed to enhance ministry for Christ.

Election Tools for Teachers

David Black posted on September 20, 2008 08:56 Article Rating
I found this site early this morning and plan on using it as the 2008 Presidential election approaches. Google for Educators has created Election Tools for Teachers -- a list of tools from Google which may assist in teaching about the upcoming election. I certainly will be using these resources with my 8th grade history class, especially in the month of October.
 
My favorite tool is the interactive electoral college map. One may click on various states, changing them from Republican wins to Democratic wins, or returning them to undecided, so students can identify combinations of states necessary for victory for either major candidate.
 
Feel free to share any other election-related resources of which you might be aware as a comment to this post.

  • A Whole New Mind, by Daniel Pink: Actually, I'm re-reading this book (I may have to purchase a copy for myself instead of always using a library copy!)  Pink identifies six senses that are becoming essential for success in 21st century society. An excellent read for all educators and church leaders, even though it is not written from a Christian perspective.
  • Crazy '08, by Cait Murphy: A great study of the famous 1908 baseball season -- the last one where the Cubs won the World Series. Very much enjoying the description of the most memorable game in Cubs history -- the 4-2 victory at the New York Giants in the final National League game of that season.
