Teaching
It’s important for a teacher to remain reflective about his own practices. Anyone who aspires to be a great teacher has to actively search out new teaching practices, learn to be critical about them, try out those that seem most likely to accomplish his goals, and hopefully incorporate those ideas and practices into a cohesive and effective teaching philosophy.

Blog: Pedagogy as Reflective Practice
This blog is a kind of narrative. But not the literary sort of narrative where the storyteller knows how the tale will end. It might be more apt to say that this blog is a narrative tool. A teacher’s record of encountering ideas and wrestling with them. Putting them into practice.Failing and succeeding. Developing a cohesive pedagogy out of myriad practices. In short, making my own classroom experiences into something whole. I hope to yoke my own background and personality to both traditional and innovative classroom practices. I’m especially interested in ways that my research on technology in the classroom, my scholarship on language theory, and my interest in digital stories might inform my own teaching.
