About Me

Performing artist/teacher turned edu administrator/tech lover. Yale, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art; decades in UK, NYC and Italy; Chitown for last 9 years. I think educators have a lot to learn from artists and organic farmers and start up folks. I believe educational arenas have the potential to create more change than most commercial/industry "art". Technology can facilitate all sorts of aspects of progress. As a colleague suggested-biodiversity in schools (and our own working lives) instead of mono-cultures seems a more sustainable path. It's exciting that so many folks seem to be arriving at that conclusions independently, and also connecting with each other!
