Travis+Kreuzberger

My name is Travis Kreuzberger and I am a student at Clemson University. I am currently in my senior year studying to be a secondary ed. history major. My favorite part of history is the WWII era and the events that led up to the war and the ramifications of the war. When I am not in class I like to watch sports (mainly Clemson football and basketball), play intramurals, and do all kinds of outdoor activities.

=**Glogster**=

Glogster is an interactive poster that allows pictures, texts, videos, and other media to present information to an audience. It can be used in teaching to present information to the classroom in a non-tradition type of format. My glogster is on Jackie Robinson. I decided to do my media poster on Jackie because of the influence that he had on the civil rights movement and on sports. Jackie was a man of character that stood up for what he believed in and made an everlasting impact on the United States. A glogster could be used for many different activities in a classroom. One way in which it could be used is as a place to get students to post videos that they have created about a historical event. This could be a reenactment of the famous duel between Burr and Hamilton and the students would post it onto youtube and then bring it into glogster. This would allow for there to be facts and details typed around telling about the event. media type="custom" key="20818538"


 * How Might I use a Wiki in the Classroom?**

Brandon Thomas, Zachary McCrary, and my Wiki project explored some of the significant battles of WWII. Our Wiki looked at the Battle of the Bulge in depth and if fully completed would have done the same with the other two battles presented. Students could use this wiki in a U.S history class while studying WWII. This wiki would allow students to get a greater understanding of some WWII battles, while also allowing them to add their own insights about the battles.
