Welcome to Mr. O'Connor's website and blog!
Give Uncle Mike a big hug!
I am very happy that you stopped by to check out my website and blog page. Welcome!
I am currently a teacher candidate at the University of Akron in Akron, Ohio. Hopefully, in the near future, I will be teaching Social Studies to students from grade seven through twelve.
I have a love for history and technology. The fusion of these two elements are what you are going to see on this website. Being a 21st century educator is exciting. So much is changing in education because of the advances in technology. We can do things today in the classroom that teachers from twenty years ago would have never dreamed of doing. Technology engages not only the educator but the student as well. Whether it is the use of an iPad for learning shapes and colors or using Google to do a research paper for history, technology has expanded the classroom and, at the same time, brought the world closer together!
Again, welcome. I invite you to browse through this blog and join in the conversation!
