I do this unit every other year. I started in 1998 with the millenium coming up and just looked back at the last 100 years. It has evolved so that students can research a topic of their choice and look at where it was and where it is today and pre...

Tech Tools for Gifted Education
Come share some of the tech tools that your kids love to use in not only education, but their own personal lives. What if we learned to use those to engage them within a thoughtful, engaging sphere of academics?

A little about me:
I'm starting my second year of teaching gifted education. Last year, I taught fourth and fifth grade pull-out classes and sixth grade gifted literature/Pre-AP English. This year, I am only doing the fourth and fifth grade pull-out classes. I have also taught third and fifth grade regular education. I love my job and my students.

I also have two children and a wonderful wife, Sarah. Maggie is 2 1/2 years old and Miller is 10 months old. Sarah is staying at home (and has a much tougher job).

I am very interested in the social and emotional needs of gifted students as well as meeting their needs in the regular education classroom (where I feel they are truly being left behind).

I grew up as a gifted student myself, so I think I really connect with these kids on so many levels. I am also finishing up my Master's degree in Gifted Education, so I am learning new insights everyday (both from my graduate classes and from my students).
