I've written a wide variety of web-pages you can explore
if you're curious, as described in a wallet-card summary:
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 new pages about new homes for items
and my dog and (finally back in Madison!) myself. ]
Below are links to some pages I've written. I recommend 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 confidence, motivations, transfers)
is part of my Education for Problem Solving website, with
logical Action Diagrams (simple & symmetric) for strategies to
improve creative-and-critical Design Thinking {@DTprocess}
plus Accurate Understanding & Respectful Attitudes & more.
Also, stories (welding, not-skiing, joy,...) and my influences &
learning from experience & kindness + empathy &
edu-topics
and why so many people loved & respected my sister, Caryl.
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.
Thinking Skills: Problem Solving - Creativity - Critical Thinking
(including the “Monday and 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);
my PhD Dissertation (with huge ToC) about Scientific Method,
and Whole-Person Education to Integrate Science & Faith {big
website for organization of Christian scientists; I made “travel
pages” for 12 of our meetings, in Chicago LA elsewhere} and
Proton Warring & Wooing by Active Bases (acids are passive)
and Understanding Einstein's Theory of Relativity in 5 Minutes;
teaching labs & ESL & Ballroom Dancing-Transfers & Juggling
plus a Juggling Video-and-Photos (Arts & Sports) my CV ,
younger Satchel Paige Age (he asked “how old do you feel?”
and this is much younger than my actual 73, because I'm
trying to “live healthy” to slow down my rate of slowdown)
and my sports (tennis, football,... and Anteater Olympiad) ,
making bamboo flutes + Science of Art & Sport , and more –
singles ministries (Online-plus-InPerson, to help people meet),
a youtube channel for my juggling/dancing & joyfully cute dog,
plus finding good homes for my fluffy-and-happy doggy 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 ,
