• Teaching Critical Thought with Technology

    In today's world, every student-citizen needs to be able to use and adapt to new technologies, find and process information, and evaluate and analyze ideas. This requires basic knowledge about technology, and the ability to critically assess claims, evidence, and the way presentation affects perception. Ultimately, this allows us to evaluate technology and its role in our lives and society.

  • About the Newt

    The amphibian I am holding in the photo is either Taricha torosa (commonly called the California Newt) or Taricha rivularis (Red-Bellied Newt) but I don't know enough to identify it positively. I saw many of them while hiking with friends in Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve. After we let this one climb on us for a while, we sent it back into the forest.
