New media continues to change the way
I think about, write, and teach history. I use new media—the Internet,
PowerPoint, online tutorials/testing—not only because it readily accommodates
different learning styles, but because it energizes everyone. Using new
media can expand student access to sources of historical information, provide
connection to the world beyond the classroom, and encourage us to think
about history in new and different ways.

I use the new media both to enhance
the classroom and offer variation to students' individual work. The Internet,
PowerPoint, and scanning technology allow me to offer a mixture of visual
aids in the classroom ranging from pictures, works of art, charts, graphs,
and documents. With my homepage I can encourage students to apply the basic
themes presented in class to a wide range of information in cyberspace.
