You have to start somewhere...

This is the first entry of my new blog, Cooper's Classroom Corner. Although I am not currently in a teaching position, I plan to use this blog to remain connected to the classroom. I loved Social Studies and History as a student and eventually became a teacher in that content area. I cannot imagine teaching anything else. My experience has taught me that education must keep pace with and even compete for attention of our students. I have used blogs as resources for my own teaching, but have only produced content for EDTECH courses. For this EDTECH 537 class, I plan to keep this blog focused on teaching Social Studies in the secondary setting. I am looking forward to learning how to better incorporate blogs into my future classrooms.
