Zachary+McCrary

My name is Zachary McCrary and I am from Greenville, S.C. I am majoring Secondary Education with a Athletic Leadership minor. I love sports and can't wait to teach/coach one day. I am student teaching/observing at Liberty High School in the fall of 2012 and spring of 2013. My favorite thing to do is to hang with my family and to attend my Church. I also love to play basketball, football, and golf. My two favorite teams Clemson Tigers and Florida Gators. I want to be a teacher one day because it is something that I feel will make me happy. I feel like educating students and for me to watch them understand the material is something that I would be very proud of. I want to teach History and hopefully be a high school basketball coach. I can't wait for what the future God has in stores for me!

**Shoeless Joe Jackson**

 * Glogster is an interactive website that allows videos, texts, and pictures and other media information for all ages. This was my first experience with this website and I really enjoyed it. It can be very influential in the classroom and I believe it is something I may use with my students. One of the ways I could use it with my students is for them to create list of presidents in history and let them design a glogster for as many presidents as possible depending on the class size. This would be a very interactive way to learn the presidents and I think it would work really well in a U.S. history class. My glogster poster is about Shoeless Joe Jackson who is from my home town of Greenville, S.C. He is a very famous baseball player and I felt like my glogster does a good job looking into the history behind Shoeless Joe Jackson.**

 * How I might I use Wiki in my Classroom**

Brandon Thomas, Travis Kreuzberger, and my Wiki project explored some of the significant battles of World War II. 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 be influential to understanding the some of the WWII battles, while also allowing them to add their own insights on the history of the battles.
