  • The End of Summer – Boo!

    Image via Wikipedia For me, there are two things that signal the end of summer. 1) The Canadian National Exhibition The CNE has been running for just over two weeks and it comes to a close today. It’s a great fall fair and we have been there covering the event for DOPEfm. Our radio show…

  • Teaching Tip Tuesdays Are Back!

    Image via Wikipedia Teaching Tip Tuesdays are back. Every Tuesday, during the school year, I share with you tips, ideas, and resources that you can use in your classroom.

  • Carolinian Trail – Pinery Provincial Park

    Pinery Provincial Park is simply breathtaking. It is located on the shore of Lake Huron just south of Grand Bend. “The Oak Savanna and Freshwater Coastal Dune ecosystems which make up the park are extremely rare and fragile and are home to many equally rare or endangered plants, animals, and insects.” I really should have…


  • Get Ready For School With 1 Word – Sleep

    Image via Wikipedia Going back to school is a big adjustment after having two months off. Many students have been staying up later than usual. They’ve also been sleeping in. So when it comes to having to wake up early, many kids just aren’t prepared for the first and subsequent days of school. Having a…


  • Stop the Back to School Madness!

    I hate how the end of summer turns into a “Back to School” season. It has somehow become entrenched in our culture that our kids need new things to go back to school. Why? We have a public school system that ensures that all of our children can get a quality education. (Stop laughing) I’m…

I even featured a mixtape that I made. I had planned to release monthly episodes but I…


  • Females Are Killing It

    In a recent interview, I asked Eternia why there aren’t more women in rap. This is what she had to say, “I don’t believe that there is actually a lack of females in hip-hop. I think there’s a lack of coverage, oftentimes. I think that getting ourselves out there with multiple full-length albums, there is…


  • Muneshine Interview

    I was really excited to go to the Shad / D-sisive / Ngajuana concert last month. I had already interviewed everyone on the bill that night but the D-sisive interview I did was nearly ten years ago and it was for the university newspaper. I was really looking forward to interviewing him again for the DOPEfm…
