Welcome Back!

For the Fall Semester, 2012 students in the two "live", on-campus sections of my History of the Americas classes will create their own Digital Portfolio of projects and assignments, using online tools such as Blogger and SlideShare. 

Web pages and PowerPoint presentations will be included within every student's
Digital Portfolio.

During this upcoming semester we will be investigating several of my favorite subjects, the American Revolution, the colonial and the post-Independence period in Latin America, and contemporary foreign policy issues.

And of course we will be exploring history through films, in movies such as Amistad, The Mission, Black Robe, Last of the Mohicans, and Gangs of New York.
