I've written a wide variety of web-pages,
as you see in this wallet card overview that
describes my many education-related projects:
I want to work with other educators, developing
strategies & activities to help people improve their
problem-solving skills. Some ideas for doing this –
by learning from experience, building bridges from
school into life, using inquiry & metacognition, ... –
plus musical improvisation, science for art & sport,
juggling, how I didn't learn to ski (+ other stories,
including My Life on a Road Less Traveled), and
Satchel Paige Age, using prayer for better living,
and more,* are in [the page you're now reading].
* including pages about new homes for items and
my dog and – finally back in old Madison! – myself.
update: since May 2022, my new home is Columbus.
The top of page has links for edu-website, bio, improvs.
Below are links to many pages I've written. I suggest that
you first read the list to see the topics, then (if you want)
go back and click links for any pages that look interesting.
Building Educational Bridges between School and Life
(to improve student motivations & confidence, plus transfers)
is part of my website about Education for Problem Solving
(where problem solving is making things better) that has
logical Action Diagrams (simple & symmetric) for strategies to
improve creative-and-critical Design Thinking {@DTprocess}
plus Accurate Understanding & Respectful Attitudes and more.
Also, stories (welding, not-skiing, joy,...) and my influences &
learning from experience & kindness + empathy &
edu-topics
and why so many people respected my sister, and loved her.
Using Prayer for Problem Solving (for living more effectively)
as described in Bible Verses about What-and-How in Life ;
how Louis said yes to God & forgiving, to become Unbroken.
ThinkingSkills: ProblemSolving Creativity CriticalThinking
(including the “Monday + Tuesday” of an influential teacher),
Musical
Improvisation & Theory and Power Tools for Physics
and how I didn't
learn to ski (but then did, by using an insight)
and learned to juggle (in 12 yr, 45 min) & swim (in 5 seconds),
returning to tennis in 2021 (with two-handed strokes on L & R,
surprised by how my basic “natural actions” were not working);
a youtube channel for my juggling/dancing & joyfully cute dog
and music playlists (instrumental featuring Gershwin, + vocal);
my PhD Dissertation (with huge ToC) about Scientific Method,
Proton Warring & Wooing by Active Bases (acids are passive),
Einstein's Theory of Constancy (understanding it in 5 Minutes),
& helping students improve thinking skills in their science labs,
teaching ESL & Ballroom Dancing (with transfers) & Juggling
plus a Juggling Video-and-Photos – Science for Arts & Sports
{e.g. making bamboo flutes & using tempo-music to run faster
& The Physics-and-Physiology of Musical Harmony (for ears)
& Splitting Out the White when Mixing Colored Light (for eyes),
and Common Sense (+ Schrodinger's Cat) in Quantum Physics
and Reality 101 and Fine Tuning of Nature in a Multiverse? —
a younger Satchel Paige Age (he asked “how old do you feel?”)
– in most ways my Paige Age is younger than my actual 74 ;
I'm trying to live healthy to slow down my rate of slowdown ;
and my sports (tennis, football,... plus Anteater Olympiad ;
how NIL-and-Portal is ruining college football, and how to fix it?
singles ministries (Online-plus-InPerson, to help people meet);
why I moved to Columbus in May 2022, two years after I was
finding good homes for my cute doggy (she is fun-and-loving,
is a good role model for joy-and-gratitude, like most dogs; life
would be better if more people were more fun-and-loving) and
for house-items (so I could give away more, throw away less)
and for me with a great new home in my old city – Madison,
