Hi! My name is Philip Morris. I am an English teacher at Locust Valley High School on Long Island, New York. I have been teaching high school English for 13 years and I am interested in how to broaden my 'edutaining' repertoire. Upon joining the HHH Team, I have found that the various “tools” discussed in the courses have enhanced my classroom lessons. My students seem more engaged and enthused when they get to apply technology to literature. The incorporation of technology into my lesson plans has bridged the gap between the students of today and the texts of yore.

TEAM has encouraged me to look at the world differently. I have also been able to share

this perspective with my family.

“TEAM has taken me on some great adventures. This summer I traveled into NYC / MoMA to see how art, science and technology weave together.”

“TEAM has afforded me the opportunity towork on a collaboration project was titled‘Artistic Connections’. Although I joined theHHH TEAM late (Spring Semester), I wasfortunate to get involved with an enthusiasticgroup who wanted to use the art of Christo andJeanne Claude as the lynchpin between thecurriculums of science, English, Spanish, andart. The students were encouraged to react to their art through written, oral, and variousother assessments.”

“TEAM has introduced me to some great people. The projects have encouraged people from different backgrounds to come together for a common purpose – an interest in technology. It has also afforded us the opportunity to share ideas and concerns about technology in and out of the classroom.”

I am not able to narrow the topics of technology to one thing in particular that I would like to learn about. I have thoroughly

enjoyed creating the web pages, blogs, digital videos, Webquests and digital photography. I am fascinated by all

aspects of technology. What intrigues me most is how I can incorporate it into my classroom lessons and activities and into

my personal life.(My family wanted to be included in this presentation)
