A little more about me:
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, this blog, has a philosophical bent to it. My thoughts on education, learning and technology.
My Practic-All blog on Wordpress is more pragmatic, and less frequently updated. It has my 2008 Digital Magic Newsletter I created for my staff at the time.

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. Please contact me if you have any questions. Dave.
