It has been over a year since my last post on this blog largely because the QMMACC blog took over my writing/posting time.  I had a fabulous year teaching the Queen Mary Multi-Age Cluster Class with a delightful, talented group of grade 6/7 students. The year, the school, the students and the paren...

My last post to this blog may have oversimplified what is to come. This afternoon I was updating my Linked-In profile, forgetting that my status there also gets posted to my Facebook account via Plaxo. This isn’t normally a problem as I don’t update my status on Linked-In very often. For me Lin...

I’m back from a year away with no plans to change back the name of my blog.  I’ve decided that I like the idea of keeping it as a Time Out space, a chance to step away and review what is happening around me as I head back into the classroom. I’ve had a three and a half year hiatus, a chance t...

I have just watched Kevin Honeycut’s beautifully done video. (I would like to thank my colleague and mentor Dave Truss for bringing it to my attention.) This is the world I’m from, where our children are rarely seen without their ipods or cell phones. Our world is wired and connected. Our scho...

A fellow global educator sent this list of ways to help make our world more peaceful in her Christmas email and I think it deserves more exposure.  Originally I believe it comes from the Peace and Collaborative Development Network blog as posted by Craig Zeller. I think it is a great list and Craig...

Once a teacher, always a teacher and as such I am always curious about learning. So this adventure is letting me really look closely at my own learning. Overall, I’m getting some huge lessons. The biggest is of course around learning, or perhaps not learning to speak Spanish.  For almost fou...

This morning the ocean is quiet. Most mornings the waves pound in on the rocks here where my family and I have temporarily relocated in Akumal, Mexico.
