Todd, that is just you!

November 7, 2022 Todd Conaway 6x16, 9X9X25 Challenge, schooling One comment

I love the act of reflection. My favorite part of my day, or one of them, is my walk to work. Nothing to do but observe and ponder. Lowers my heart-rate, keeps my legs in shape, gives me good reason

Todd, it ain’t no boat!

November 3, 2022 Todd Conaway 6x16, 9X9X25 Challenge, schooling

So, let’s say you have eighteen people in a small paddle boat and everyone has a paddle. Or most everyone. The only task the group has is to cross a small lake. As a benevolent, kind, and perceived leader you

Todd, that is a frightening abyss!

October 24, 2022 Todd Conaway 6x16, 9X9X25 Challenge

How about a little Nikos Kazantzakis and a some Kurt Hahn. Let’s look over the edge of that leaf and tremble and let’s take a walk where we can find a little stream and sit back in the cool grass

Todd, that is just a sock drawer.

October 17, 2022 Todd Conaway 6x16, 6x62022, 9X9X25 Challenge

Is your sock drawer exactly like your “My Documents” or your desktop, or your inbox? Why yes, yes, it is! Who among us has a perfectly clean and organized sock drawer, devoid of old photographs, a stray shoelace from 1973,

Todd, those are drums not books.

Things that are unexpected can be terrifying. Or at least uncomfortable. And I could argue for simple consistency (but not like school uniforms or “template” courses) as a way to create safe and easily understood expectations. Yes, creating patterns in

Two chairs at a round table with a nice plant on it.

Todd, they are just chairs.

October 3, 2022 Todd Conaway 6x16, 9X9X25 Challenge One comment

There is an ongoing battle just outside my office. It involves persons unknown, possibly the nice cleaning staff or wandering students, and two chairs alongside a small table with a plant, a table tent like thing, and a brochure. Here

Wow! Some Travel & Mobile App

March 25, 2022 Todd Conaway 6x16, 9X9X25 Challenge

I had grand plans to use the WordPress app to write a post or two these last two weeks. Nope. I visited Scotland and Ireland and had a wonderful time. I met some people I have known on Twitter for

“Dream a little – no, dream a lot.”

This is healthy. “…a prompt to write about what it’s been like to reflect and write about teaching, but if that doesn’t move you, how about imagining the future of learning? What is your dream teaching situation, and how might

Where: Prescott College I was so lucky Prescott College happened to be in the same town as I was in. In 1979 I moved to Prescott as a junior in high school. I was pretty unhappy with school. I needed

Digital Learning Mentors

October 19, 2021 Todd Conaway 6x16, 6X16FALL2021, 9X9X25 Challenge, schooling

A couple years back this very writing project produced a book about first year teaching and shared some thoughts about “Things I Wish I Would Have Known” during that first year. One thought I had was that the book could

Practice Random Emails of Kindness

Last Friday I woke up to a really nice email. I know, is that even possible? Well, yes, it is. It was the first interaction I had with “work” that day. The first thing I was tasked to do for

I Got Stoned & I Missed It

October 5, 2021 Todd Conaway 6x16, 6X16FALL2021, 9X9X25 Challenge

For those Shel Silverstein aficionados out there, you’ll know of his wonderful collaboration with the equally wonderful Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. Well, while I missed last week’s post not cuz I was stoned, but cuz I forgot, I
