A little more about me: I have two blogs right now that I am using to chronicle who I am and what I do as an educator: My Pair-A-Dimes for Your Thoughts, this blog, has a philosophical bent to it. My thoughts on education, learning and technology. An extension of this blog is my Podcasting Pair-a-Dimes, which also gets printed on my blog, but this 2nd link makes subscribing just the the podcast easy. My Daily-Ink is where I try to write something daily, but tends to be far less frequent than that. Random thoughts and ideas inspired by daily life, and often relating to education. Other, older sites include: My Practic-All blog on Wordpress which was more pragmatic, and included my 2008 Digital Magic Newsletter, which I created for my staff at the time. And you need to go to the Internet Archive to see the humble beginnings of this blog, where it started on elgg & then was moved to eduspaces, before I brought it here to DavidTruss.com.- - - - -
LEADERS of TOMORROW are in our classrooms TODAY! Student Leadership is a passion of mine. One of my favourite quotes, that I borrow from a good friend and mentor, Dave is "I teach leadership not followship". This has a lot to do with Servant Leadership and being socially responsible citizens of the school, and the world. If you work with student leaders, check out the page about my Master's Paper on Developing a Student Leadership Program with links to many related resources. Please contact me if you have any questions. Dave.
