Help Me Grow a Beard

One of the teachers here at my school started a Movember group. Movember for those of you don’t know is where men grow beards or moustaches in support for men’s health and specifically prostate cancer.

Technology: More than a tool, a new skill

dumptruck

I’m dumping another technology phrase that I think its time has passed by. A few years ago I stopped using the phrase 21st Century blah, blah, blah. You name it we were calling everything 21st Century. I haven’t missed that phrase in my vocabulary as I believe …

The Next Chapter

Earlier this week I handed in my resignation letter to my Head of School, Dr. Gerrtiz. It’s funny the two responses I’ve been getting.

Technology continues to reinvent every part of our lives. Even parts of our lives that we don’t think about everyday. Farming is one of these. As a field of study (pun intended) and as a practice agriculture has gone through and continues to go through some major changes. In …
