While some people I know feel that due to the tablet revolution proper typing is an outdated skill, I feel that proper keyboarding is even more critical in this day and age.  Given how much time most of us spend using a keyboard, increasing your typing speed is a no-brainer way to increase your productivity.  

I recently replied to a discussion question on Tech Director, a forum for tech people in international schools.  A member asked about what LMS (Learning Management System) we are use. Here is my (edited) response:

For those of you who don't know, Moodle is a fantastic, free, and open-source learning management system (LMS).  We've been using it at my school for the past year or so - in particular this year use has really picked up.  I recently asked one of our teachers to describe his Moodle use for our colleagues.  His course page revolves around the course wiki but has links attractively presented on the main page.

For those of you who are waiting with bated breath to my follow up to my previous blog post on the University of the People , wait no longer! 

A few months ago I submitted a vounteer form to The University of the People. It goes without saying that I don't want anyone, especially my family and the FBI, to think that I've gone and decided to work for some communist organization.  So, allow me to clarify.
