This year, I will be teaching Social Studies 10, Psychology 12, and AP Psychology. If you are wondering what this blog is for, it is for me to park some online lessons we will be doing in class, a place to post homework via twitter (check the feed to the right) and post some permanent information like class videos and course outlines which could be found on the toolbar above. I am excited to get know all of my students and for the year ahead (and I hope you are too!).
