My work with the RRR grant has a real learning experience. One such learning was creating a Google Map. I remember my awe when primary investigator, Dr. Mark Tebeau, showed us the Euclid Corridor map that he and his colleagues had created using Google Map. A visitor could click on…

In reflecting what we’d accomplished during the first year of our grant experience, we asked our 35 participants what they’d done to spread the good news of the journey. They responded as follows:
Robin Lashley: "I talk with other teachers both inside and outside my school. I use… -

A recent visit to Cincinnati with Jann Gallagher brought back many memories of my years of working with museums as a board member of the Ohio Museums Association. Jann and I visited two very different museums on Nov. 7th and Nov. 8th. First, we went to the National Underground Railroad…

Oh! My!
Today, Sunday, April 23, Tony and I visited Canal Fulton. As you know, both of us have the proverbial "canal fever." Tony especially, talks to everyone about my work with this grant. As he talks with people, he brings back stories of what others remember or know about the canal. One… -

Dear Friends, Several weeks ago, Tony and I took a trip down memory lane. We visited the house he grew up in…along the Ohio & Erie Canal in Barberton. We were amazed to find it all cleaned up and getting ready for extending or connecting the tow path. So much had changed. …

Again, I am posting a colleague’s email: this is from Jann. Very insightful. My comments will be below (and via email.)

As we continue workshop planning, I think this blog is a useful place to accumulate our work. Before everyone is up and running with everybody involved.
So here are Rich’s thoughts (and I paste as a quotation, to avoid the horrendous Huffington fiasco: click here for link.) Steve

janicegallagher wrote a new blog post: moving the project forward
I am just testing this blogging thing. I want to see how it works. If no one enters this site, then they never see the blog, Right? So, when a teacher instructs students to use it, the teacher makes a requirement that the students must make x number of entries each week…is that…
