This weblog serves three main functions. The primary function is to provide an interactive virtual academic environment for my history and politics students at the John F. Kennedy Schule in Berlin. Students are invited to respond to scholarly resources and engage in online dialogues. In the process, I am pleased to save almost 50,000 sheets of paper per school year. Secondly, this weblog offers opportunities to students who desire to transcend the curriculum by exploring academic resources that, time permitting, I might use in class. Lastly, this is a forum for me to share ideas that have little to do with the courses that I teach but are, nevertheless, of particular interest to me (e.g. Music and Berlin categories).
