"I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think." -Socrates

Me, caught off guard, in front of the Pantheion in Rome, Italy.

Hello and welcome! My name is Jeff Gerlach; social studies teacher, technology enthusiast, weekend hockey player, and life-long learner. This website is designed to offer insight into my teaching methods and strategies as I progress through my career. Over the course of time, I will be adding additional content as my practice evolves.

The navigation bar located at the top of the page can be used to explore various elements of my teaching:

• The tech plan tab contains my overall philosophy concerning technology integration into the classroom, as well as my short and long term goals for refining my craft in this area.
• The portfolio tab contains lesson plans and instructional objects that I feel best represent my interaction with my students.
• The professionalism tab contains examples of my commitment to being a leader in educational technology.
  

For more regularly updated insights and innovations, I encourage you to explore my blog and Delicious entries that are streamed below.
Happy exploring!
