Learning is more effective when it is active rather than a passive process. – Kurt Lewin

Rich really rounded out the term well with the last few Edtech topics. Last week was 3D printing, which I flew my nerd flag proudly. Then this week’s topic about video games and learning. I was huge into video games… Continue Reading →

3D printing is already shaking our age-old notions of what can and can’t be made. – Hod Lipson

This week’s Edtech topic of 3D printing released the nerd in me! As it did for a lot of use, I believe. The Zoom chat lit up with great ideas, but it was an easy choice as soon as I… Continue Reading →

What are some phone apps that we can use in the classroom and how can we use them? – Brandon and Kayla

A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. – Margaret Mead

Edcamp? Unconference? What in the what are you talking about?! I was in a complete fog when this topic came up in class (that seems to be a common theme this term, but I guess that means I’m learning). But… Continue Reading →

Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error. – Thomas Jefferson

In basketball — as in life — true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way – Phil Jackson

For this free inquiry blog post I am going to look back at a book I read a few years ago; the autobiography of Phil Jackson called “Sacred Hoops: Spiritual Lessons of a Hardwood Warrior.” Phil Jackson is without question… Continue Reading →

I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come – Michael Jordan

I have played basketball pretty much my entire life. I love the sport. I love playing it, I love coaching it, and I love watching it. Growing up, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson were my idols. I can remember watching… Continue Reading →
