Welcome to the Participant Blog Area!
One of the expectations of the Teaching American History Grant IV (TAH IV) is for teachers to better utilize technology into their classrooms. One way to accomplish this goal is to use blogging to better communicate with our students, our community, and educators from around the world. Participants will be using their blogs to relate what they are doing in their classrooms and to relate their experiences from the grant to the onine community.
The Social Studies Department would like to thank the SAISD Instructional Technology Department for their support in setting up and maintaining the TAH IV Blogs!
