Sometimes watching children at play can show us a lot about their personality and where that personality development is going. While pondering over some of the things I’ve learned interacting with children over the past year, a friend pointed out to me that self confidence is key all along, and in fact, rejection massively […]

social software gone censorship

June 13, 2004

Social censorship was one of the topics that came up today over at Jeff Jarvis’ BuzzMachine. This is an interesting twist in a puzzle of me rarely being able to connect to some interesting websites.
Living in China, there are certain things that I take as fact about the Internet:

interesting insects

May 22, 2004

I like biology, I like bugs, and anyone who met me at Hampshire knows that I am a big fan of interdisciplinary studies.

Myers-Briggs made short

February 1, 2004

Have you ever taken the Myers-Briggs personality test? It’s a little more insightful than anything that most blog quizzes have to offer, which is appropriate considering it’s development in psychology. Regardless, bloginality has offered up a much shorter and less painful version of the test online. It’s actually a pretty accurate boiling […]

You too can enjoy a neatly scripted scrabble solitaire and go nuts like I do trying to better your top score.

Teaching Resources for little ‘uns

December 25, 2003

Perpetual Preschool has great resources, though I find they are appropriate for my first and second grade ESL kids, since the vocabulary is more accessible for them.

Answer to teaching prayers

December 18, 2003

Today I have stumbled across Boggle’s World while trying to build an 80 minute fun Christmas oriented class. I am very excited about the resources there and the flexibility of the materials there.
I’ll be going back to them with some of the curriculum development we’re working on for next semester. Score!
