I’m sick of grades. Here’s why and here’s what I do and what I would do. This is the first part of a series of posts where I look at aspects of my professional life which I find difficult to correlate with my beliefs and principles.…

#etmooc revisited 1 yr anniversary
It’s a freakish thing to realize 12 months has vanished. The fun conclusion; however, is how much you can grow. Life can get in the way. Personally, disaster may ( and will ) strike here and there but from a

Bringing Stories to Life – Digitally!
Last week, I spent the majority of my #etmooc time trying new digital storytelling tools (GIFs, Flip Books, Visual Poetry, 5 Card Flickr) and posting about my explorations and learnings.
