Matthew+Miller

My name is Matthew Miller and I am a senior social studies education major at Clemson University. I have lived in the upstate all my life and intend to stay here for a couple of years after I have graduated. Music is a big part of my life. I participated in Tiger Band my first two years here at Clemson, and the Symphonic Band for two and a half. I have enjoyed my time at Clemson, but I am getting anxious to get out in the "real world" and do some teaching in a school system. Go Tigers!

**Glogster**

Glogster is a tool that allows the user to create a sort of virtual bulletin board for anything they want. I thought it was user friendly and allowed the user to be pretty creative. My Glog is on Stonewall Jackson and his career in the Confederate Army. Glogster can be used in the classroom to do basic review sessions, to introduce new ideas, or as individual student projects. media type="custom" key="20894836"


 * How I Might Use Wiki in the Classroom**

David and I created a wiki that takes students on a virtual road trip across America to visit different states. It's goal is to teach students the basic facts and history about the states in our country. Students can pick, or will be assigned, a state that they have to do research on, including finding some pictures and a video clip. After they've compiled their information, they will present their state in class. Not only is this project teaching them about the states in the union, but it's teaching them how to create a website.

Here's a link to our wiki.... From Sea to Shining Sea
