More About Me

I'm passionate about

People thinking creatively and "being" creative. And,
good, simple clear writing that dares me to
ignore it.

An idea worth spreading

People need to watch Sir Ken Robinson's
presentation on creativity and education.
It's brilliant. No, more than that. It's
dangerous for people who want to keep
students from asking questions and
thinking creatively.

Talk to me about

How we can get rid of all those professors who care more
about their own ego and research than teaching "real world"
stuff to students. Too many of those exist. Kids suffer.

People don't know that I'm good at

Graphic design

My TED Story

I'm hooked on the TED Talks. Brilliant stuff. In fact,
my students are assigned exercises that force them
to watch the presentations. But when they do, they
also get hooked. My favourite talk is by Sir Ken
Robinson on education and creativity.
