After ten days of testing the Steemit waters, it is time to dive in...
Before I go on about myself and some of my interests, I would first like to thank the many people who, in the ten days since I joined Steemit, have been so hospitable and helpful. I have been impressed by members of this community and been struck by the open sharing of such a wide diversity of perspectives and talents - from all around the world. My experience to date on this platform really has felt like being part of the "Global Village."
I have been teaching high school English, Drama and Media Literacy in Canada for almost three decades now. In addition, I have been actively involved in blended elearning and writing curriculum - all with 21st C learning competencies in mind.

I have had the privilege of coaching several sports over the years - lacrosse, swimming, tennis, rugby, basketball, cross-country running and, of course, ice hockey:
“You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.” - Wayne Gretzky
I have played in a number of classic rock and jazz bands, kids' acts and Beatles tributes over the last few years. Currently, I am excited about writing songs for a collaborative, inquiry-based, musical theatre production for middle school students called The Tikbalang and Me. Stay tuned for more about this project in the days to come.

Looking forward to sharing ideas, stories and songs while learning a bit more about so many fascinating people from all around the world.
Play on!
