The work of Jonathan Harris.. Have you visualized what we do online?

- Sue,
Yeah! So glad you joined Fireside. I see you've been really active already, jumping right in.
I love what you wrote here, about "our duty as professionals." How many people put it like that? You are a breath of fresh air.
History, Ancient World History, and Special Ed--wow! You have a lot to add to the mix.
So glad you're here!

Why don't you lead us in a new Fireside Learning Group about how (especially using Internet resources) we can better engage students in learning where and who they are in historical and social terms?
You hit my hot button when you said "focus should be on THEM and what they need." Why not guide us in the new Group proposed above by ensuring that this vital focus predominates in it's discussions.
Thanks for joining the community.

- Welcome Sue,
You might have some helpful comments about boys and disorganisation the forum that filled my mailbox overnight. - (talk about things that can grow while you sleep!)
And I'm sure there's plenty more to hear from you - and share with you.
