It’s been a year…..

It’s been over a year since I contributed to my blog. And this morning I wondered why.

It’s not that I’m not teaching. I am. I am a sessional instructor at Ontario Tech University.

It’s not that I’m not interested in issues. I am. My friends and family will attest to my tendency to belabour topics, many of which they have no interest in.

I think it’s that my focus is now on adult education, and I don’t feel nearly as comfortable reflecting in public about the world I inhabit with my BA and BEd students.

However, I am teaching a BEd course in Reflective Practice…. And I’m NOT practising this practice!

So, here I am back, and hopefully will be able to return to the habit of writing on a regular basis. I’ll focus on my adult classes, but with a strong filter that considers their presence in my audience.

It will be a challenge, but let’s see if reflection with a filter works.

Oh, and another challenge to my time is the latest addition to the “antiques” in my home: a Hammond T415 organ. Here’s what it looked like when we moved it in last Saturday. It will be drawing me away from my work, and challenging my brain as I learn to coordinate hands and feet.
