WELCOME! My goal is to provide Social Studies teachers across Connecticut with links to the highest quality teaching and resource sites on the Internet. This is a “work in progress.” It is in a bit of disarray at the moment (late Spring 2019), as I’ve added a series of links but have not categorized them yet.

Let Freedom Swing – This project explores the relationships between jazz and democracy. Two iconic Americans are at the heart of Let Freedom Swing: (retired) Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and jazz composer, trumpeter, and educator Wynton Marsalis. The videos and study guide are designed for use in social studies, humanities, and music classes in grades 6-12.
