Know Your History 37 – The History of Radio Broadcasting
We have a need for home entertainment. A true need for it. Nowadays we don’t even think much about it. There are so many ways for us to keep busy while relaxing at home. We can kick back with a book and spend a quiet afternoon reading. We can play a video game on a […]

Daredevil Still Going Strong with Volume 3
Daredevil: Volume 1 by Mark Waid, Paolo Manuel Rivera, and Marcos Martin This is the start of the third volume of the on-going Daredevil monthly comic. It started its production in April 2011 and I bought the first edition of comic but have held off with buying more. I was waiting for the collected hardcover edition. […]

Our Classroom Rules Apply to the Teacher as well.
These are the classroom rules that I expect everyone in my class to follow, myself included. That is one of the reasons I decided to write these in the first person. I didn’t write “Do Your Best,” I wrote “Do My Best.” This is a subtle distinction but I hope it communicates that these are rules […]

Skatepark Tours
Skateboarding is a great sport. I’ve been doing it since I was 12 years old and I can’t see myself stopping anytime soon. I love finding new places to skate. I often take my camera along with me and snap pictures of the complete park. This page is a table of contents for these Virtual […]

Using Classroom Rules to Correct Student Misbehaviour
By ChinaFlag [Public domain] via Wikimedia Commons “One of the things that I learned this year (teaching grade 6 for the first time) is that when a student is misbehaving, it’s sometimes hard not to get into a power struggle. If you have clear and concise rules, you’re able to identify their behaviour as breaking […]

My Name is Memory
My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting to see all of the ways that the two characters connected throughout the years. The timing or circumstances were never quite right for them to finally come together to live happily ever after. But that notion of fairy-tale love is […]

Stratford’s All-Wheels Skatepark
Grab your skateboard and head to Stratford’s All-Wheels Skatepark. It’s time for another visual tour. This park doesn’t look like much. The ramps look kind of worn down. The concrete isn’t completely smooth. And the area looks like it used to be an industrial parking lot. But the metal ramps are a nice touch. The […]

Breathtaking Sidewalk Art
David Zinn magically transforms the sidewalk and immediate environment into breathtaking works of art. And he does it in chalk. Absolutely incredible! I love how he makes three-dimensional drawings that are fully immersed in reality and fantasy at exactly the same time. This piece might just be my favourite. It really looks like Sluggo is […]
