There are very few images that bring up the concept of education as the picture of a chalkboard. The idea of teaching without this tool (or it’s contemporary equivalent – the dry-erase board) seems impossible. We’ve been using a board at the front of a room to teach for a very long time. There are…
Will AI tools such as ChatGPT force us to rethink how we teach? I think so.
Technology as an enabling tool in education is far from a new idea. The ability to leverage technology to assist in the learning process is a vast topic – and one that is at the heart of the majority of my writing, my teaching, and my YouTube Channel. Placing structure before toolsets is important. The…
This isn’t as much of a BLOG post as just a list of some resources I have for Teaching, Learning, and Remote work. I was asked to share this – so I thought I’d make it available here.

Some of the surveys I’ve read about have shocked me – 34.5% of students in one survey specifically wanted to become YouTube Creators – with high percentages for Vlogger, Bloggers, Pop Stars, and Movie Stars. However, we…
Our reality today is that we will be working with webcams in our work life. Whether a few days a week of remote work, a meeting that spans geography, or a “face-to-face” interview or discussion – webcams are now a larger part of our work life then ever before. In many ways, the built in…
The move into more Cloud services has taken hold for both business and consumer markets. The convenience of Cloud Storage for back-ups has grown into an entire Infrastructure solution with Storage, Compute, Networking, Development, Infrastructure, Platform, and Software as a Service. While I could write pages and pages on any of these areas of Cloud…
