Jonathan Keck

My name is Jonathan Keck. I teach in the Social Science department, in which I serve as chair. In addition, I am the Director of Educational Technology at Aquinas High School.

I have devoted the last 14 years to the study of Ancient and Medieval European and Near Eastern cultural history and religions. In that time, I earned a B.A. in European History and an M.A. in Ancient and Medieval History. I continue to research and write on syncretic cultural and religious interactions.While cultural history and religion remain my primary passions, teaching in a 21st-century context has become an issue of primary concern. I have contributed to the implementation of and the ongoing development of best pedagogical practices at Aquinas High School’s iPad 1:1 program. As a teacher and instruction coordinator, I am currently exploring student-led learning, problem- and challenge-based learning, and technology-driven research and choice.
