DJElectricDaddy : Now as a Tumblog

If it has escaped anyone I'll let it be known that alongside this Blogger blog, I have started a sister blog on Tumblr. These bite size blogs, known as Tumblogs are intended to be quicker and more frequent posts than the longer, more in depth verbal dribblings found here. It is really easy to update the Tumblog with a quick note or picture that would not warrant a full post in the blog, so bookmark the link and check it out regularly.

Hey man, thanks for the comment on the blog. I love when people put their in-put into what I have to say, it makes the expereince all that much better. I know what you mean about the iPeed shirt, I think for the first 4 months that my son was alive, that is all he did to me. I must have been his favorite toilet seat.

Love the blog, you have a wonderful family and a beautiful son. I am looking forward to the hockey games as well, although I need to download them cause I live in Japan, and they can't even spell hockey!

Click to Play On a chill but pleasent spring morning, our little Sprite finds many an amusement in the back garden wonderland of fallen leaves, puddles, dirt and all manner of things to get himself filthy dirty and soaking wet. Oh well, boys will be boys. Anyhow, it keeps him busy and occupied for a time. Even if it means we have to rake up the leaves again after the G-Express ploughed through them for the umpteenth time.

iPrincipal : My Thoughts on Technology in Elementary School

A few weeks ago I received a request from the local school district to fill out an online survey that was focused on the use of technology in our elementary schools. This followed an event at my son's elementary school that was an opportunity for parents to see how the school planned to make use of modern technologies in it's educational curriculum.

The evenings presentations were orchestrated by Ted Lai, the Director of Technology and Media Services for Fullerton School District, who had been guiding several programs that had children as young as Kindergarten and First Grade creating media as part of their education. Of course, this appealed to me immensely. As a media creator myself I totally appreciate the value storytelling has in society, and am very excited kids are getting a chance to discover this for themselves. The fact that they are getting hands on with visual media and the technology used

Just Like A Liquor Store, We Got Whines And Spirit

So it turns out our child is a rare breed. A specimen of American society found in only 10-15% of children. Much to our chagrin he is not an exceptionally gifted genius. No, our rare breed is 'spirited' as defined in the book "Raising Your Spirited Child" by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka. ElectricMommy was doing some research on the internets, trying to find out if The Sprite's bossy, rowdy and explosive behavior was within the realm of normal toddlerdom, and found many a reference to the above mentioned book. It was clear after the first chapter that our little monster is a prototypical Spirited Child, displaying every trait that defines such character. Most of these traits are off the chart to the extreme. So what are these traits that make-up such a child? They are more intense, hyper sensitive and emotional, extremely perceptive, stubbornly persistent, and excruciatingly resistant to change. Noticeably more so than your typical, yet already intense, sensitive, persist
