I recently appeared on Global Television’s morning show discussing a few back-to-school apps. You can catch the recording below.

Obviously, there are better apps than the ones I listed. But, I wanted to give viewers a good range of what kinds of tools are available.…

Eye of the Tiger

A Purposeful Gait

I am subbing for an English class over the course of the next few weeks. I have a few sessions under my belt, which is just as many as the students have.

Some favourite web sites to share: introverts and education

Embracing the introvert in education
 I just finished my fiction novel “The Golden City” – part of a series about technology, societal control and being off the grid. It was interesting reading by author John Twelve Hawks, who apparently lives an unplugged and non-traceable lifestyle as well.

What storytelling is to me.

So DS106 Headless has asked me to reflect on the idea of what I associate with the word storytelling? Um, that’s tough because I basically tell stories all the time. Someone asks about my day and the next thing I’m doing is conveying a story.…
