Yes it has been a while since posting. Teaching takes a lot of time, energy and thought. I was teaching not only at the junior high level, but also two community college survey courses at night. I think that it just exhausted me and set off a colitis flare up that I am struggling with now. In fact, in the two years that I taught at both schools, I had pneumonia twice and increasing colitis difficulty and side effects. Well, no more, I will devote my energy to publication, blogging and looking for great national history conventions to attend and hopefully one day, present at. I am checking out web 2.0 toolsand collaborative plns, will post anything groundbreaking.
