Tinker with Text
My professional teaching blog is called Tinker with Text. On this blog, I explore the intersection of literacy and makerspace. Several posts have been recognized and shared by notable educators. Recently, I wrote a blog post about Tinkering with OneNote, which is a free online tool created by Microsoft. The great folks at OneNote shared it and even created this fun bitmoji of yours truly. Thanks, Microsoft!

Vicki Den Ouden is a teacher I turn to when I'm in need of perspective, a writer whose words move me and many other professionals in our field, and a human whose heart makes her one of the finest collaborators I've been fortunate enough to know. She has a keen sense of what makes for great content, an eye for detail, and an enthusiasm for the written word and those who produce it that is all too rare in this day and age.
