=About Me= I am an Eighth Grade Social Studies Teacher in Medfield, MA. In addition, I enjoy politics, the New York Yankees, running and reading.

Teaching
I have been teaching in Medfield for seven years, and have taught both seventh and eighth grade Social Studies, as well as Current Events and Public Speaking. I run the Intramural Program and Student Council as well at Blake Middle School.

Teaching
Technology is dictating how we must educate our students in the future, so I work to understand and utilize technology in an effective and productive manner, to both educate students in skills and also provide authentic assessments for them. My school website can be found at here.

Politics
Below you will see a list of some of my favorite political websites that I try to regularly visit to get a wide view of political information:
 * Drudge Report
 * Politico
 * Fox News
 * NPR Politics

New York Yankees
You may have recently heard about the Yankees' signing of Mark Teixeira and pitchers CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett.

Running
I am attempting to get back into shape, using an online running logbook and [www.gmap-pedometer.com/ GMaps Pedometer].

Reading
Most recently, I am reading the book Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortensen and recently completed The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon.
