Design: to do or plan with a specific purpose or intention.
Looking for the design as well as creating the design are lifelong pursuits. I would like to track design ideas, solutions and challenges that I see and experience. I only hope to identify these in a meaningful way, talk around them and perhaps come up with a useful consideration of my own.
Contact me if you would like regarding these and other thoughts.

We went to visit with another school, to explore how they did business. Overall, it was productive, but not in the way we expected.
In fact it created the opportunity to discuss a new paradigm for multimedia, technology and teaching. None of that was the target of the visit. It took a journey of 3000 miles to have the conversation that would make a major change on our campus.
It wasn’t so much the difference in the campus or the people. In many ways, schools all have the same faces, the same buildings and the same challenges. It was the chance to see it all for the first time.
When we returned, I purposely looked at my familiar site with new eyes. What did it look like for “the first time”? What was the first impression? What first impressions did I need to see in order to make improvements?
Our lessons from Virginia were not in the schedule of classes, but in the creation of effective classes. The obvious choices were only obvious once I came back onto campus, looking at things for the first time.
