Hi all,

My name is Deb Holland from Denver, CO. I have been teaching about the Middle East for over 20 years in my 9th grade History class, but I still love taking classes to implement new ideas. I am not really active on social media so no handles here. My biggest challenge in teaching the Middle East is trying to make the unit more fluid; I always feel like my approach is a little choppy, which can make it difficult for 9th graders to follow a regional study.  I look forward to this course!
