About Me:
I've been trying to contact as many teachers as possible through many networks and it dawned on me that I'm making connections that a lot of educators need but can't make on their own because they don't have the time. I also noticed that a database of these people doesn't exist anywhere yet. So, the database I've put up at http://www.oratiobrevis.com is basically a service to connect teachers that don't belong to the same networks.

Tough Choices or Tough Times

There does seem to be some evidence that shows US schools are starting to lose competitive edge internationally.

"A swiftly rising number of American workers at every skill level are in direct competition with workers in every corner of the globe. While our international counterparts are increasingly getting more education, their young people are getting a better education as well. American students and young adults place anywhere from the middle to the bottom of the pack in all three… Continue

Reaching out from the professional sector to educators

I'm working to promote international collaborations between educators. Over the last week I've put up a sight where educators can register for what I've been calling the International Educators Collaborative. It's still a little vague what that means because the more I talk to educators about it the more the idea starts shift and come into greater focus. My real purpose is to establish a means for educators to use the web in a somewhat standard way that… Continue
