Classified isn’t Top Secret Anymore
Last night I went to the Classified concert in London, Ontario. I had a chance to sit down with the rapper before the concert and interview him for the first ever, on location interview for DOPEfm. The turnout for the show was amazing. There had to be over 300 people there. The show was amazing…

It’s All Doom and Gloom
Dear Mr. Media, Whoever you are, can you please stop with all the doom and gloom reporting? I am sick and tired of turning on the television to discover the latest thing that threatens my life. First it was Killer Bees, then it was Mad Cow Disease. That was quickly followed by West Nile Virus,…

Teaching Tip Tuesday – Classroom Rules (Expectations)
In order to manage behaviour effectively in the classroom, I believe that it is important to instill a sense of ownership on the students.

How cool is this? I got an autograph from Kyprios at the concert Sunday night. Even cooler is the fact that my girlfriend was able to scan it in so I can share it with all of you. I actually have quite a few autographs in my collection. I will be sharing a different autograph…

Teaching Tip Tuesday – Classroom Scrabble
The best board game ever invented, in my humble opinion, is Scrabble. One of the reasons I like Scrabble is that it challenges the mind and is not merely just a game of chance. I think I also have an affinity for the game since it has always been a big deal in my family.…

Sweatshop Union Rocked The House
Last night, I finally got to see Sweatshop Union perform. I have been a big fan of this independent hip-hop group since I discovered their second album Natural Progression. They put on an amazing set and energized the crowd from beginning to end. They played hits from all four of their albums including their current…

It’s My Self-Referential Introduction Post
My girlfriend reads exactly one blog. Mine! The other day she asked if she could do a guest post. So without further ado, here is Witgirl. After this I’m no longer a virgin I’m new to the blogosphere, yet thanks to the trusty guidance of Chase March I am slowly becoming acquainted. I know I…

Novel Study Takes to the Track
My all-time favourite novel is Heartbeat by Sharon Creech. I have been sharing it with my class all week long. We’ve been listening to the audio book and following along with copies of the novel. I can’t say enough good things about this book. It is beautiful and poetic and tells a really great story.…
