a sports fanatic...

In addition to managing my own fantasy football league (The League of the Jackals), I am an addicted follower of various sports.

a new year...

Well, not really. Rather, a new semester. I am now officially a second-year graduate student; two years from potentially being in my own classroom. Meanwhile, it appears as though my blog from last semester will be resurrected. Just in time for football season. Besides postings from my extra-curricular passions, I'll see if I can't add some new educational materials as I continue along this path of developing my rationale for using technology and integrating technology into my understanding of english education. Thanks for reading along....
