About Me
I teach International Relations at a private school in Albania supported by the EU. I am quite interested in introducing modern web technology to schools, especially those in former communist countries, which have tended to lag behind. I also care a lot about Green energy, climate change, and issues of social justice.

    thanks for the info ~ i'm maintaining my dinosaur 'dial up' because i am still trying to figure out which is the best way to upgrade my connectivity while keeping the cost down ~ i'm really not crazy about cable ~
    luckily, i have a very high speed connection at work, so can zoom along & play with web 2.0 during the day.

    Thanks Bob. There's so many ideas and direction to take from this site I'm still at the overwhelmed stage.
    Hopefully as I meet people I'll start to isolate 'trees' within the 'forest'.

    Hi Bob,
    How on earth did you wind up in Albania! In any case, it has to be easier than teaching in the south Bronx!

    Hi, Bob, thanks for the invite. I would be curious to know if my school is on par with Albania in terms of using technology in the classroom. I have had to beg and plead just to allow blogging. Anyway, I teach AP English Composition and Language in Grapevine, Texas. Hope you are well.

    Hi Bob, thanks for the invite and congratulations on getting anything at all going in Albania. I would love to start some elearning initiatives in Ukraine, where our team is based, but the problem is there are just no computers in the schools.

    I am very interested. Please let me know what to do. I have a lot of passionate kids in my class who would love to be involved in "stuff that matters." :)

    The World Mind Network is an amazing site. What a concept: webcams all over the world. I'll spend some time there, looking around, showing the kids, making discoveries, observing.
    Regarding what's going on in my class--sure, I'll willing to share in a variety of ways. Right now, however, you might change your mind if you saw it--we're going through some evolutionary stage that can only be called mayhem! Creative chaos! I'm thinking we'll settle back down in a week or so, but who knows? (It's hard to balance the introduction of whole new things with the need to keep things "calm" and focused!) What a transition this is...
