Information below will be updated after I fully transfer my blog to this new site.
I have two blogs right now that I am using to chronicle who I am and what I do as an educator.
My Pair-A-Dimes for Your Thoughts has a philosophical bent to it. My thoughts on education, learning and technology. On this site, I have a My Web2.0 Presentation: This (old) presentation (that I will soon move to my new blog site) is about my forays into the world of Web2.0, and includes my online resources, as well as my relevant blog posts about my adventures so far..
My Practic-All blog on Wordpress is more pragmatic, and less frequently updated.

From my old web page:
LEADERS of TOMORROW are in our classrooms TODAY!
Student Leadership is a passion of mine. One of my favorite quotes, that I borrow from a good friend and mentor, Dave is “I teach leadership not followship”. Most of what follows has a lot to do with Servant Leadership and being socially responsible citizens of the school, and the world.
Here is a link to some Leadership Lesson Plans that I have either used or developed.
Here is a link to some wonderful Teaching Metaphors that I love to use. (updated site coming soon)
Here is a link to my master final paper about Developing a Student Leadership Program in a Middle School.
Dave.
