I Help Brand and Market Experts
This past week, I revealed my early plans about launching a subscription site for educators interested in making effective, successful blogs, websites, and online businesses. As each day passes, my excitement only intensifies as I can’t wait to begin sharing my expertise in education, social media, and website design to help my colleagues amplify their [...]
Web 2.0 Tools for Teachers | edDominators.com Website Launched
The past few weeks, I’ve been working on a new project that blends together my various professional and personal passions, while helping other educators. I am an avid social media user, well-versed in topics of education (which is why I wanted to become an (education blogger), and am fortunate to possess knowledge on digital marketing [...]
Ever Wonder if You’re the Worst Principal in the World?
Have you ever wondered if you’re the worst school administrator in the entire world? OK, maybe I’m exaggerating the question a bit. But truthfully, this question has entered my mind on a few occasions. I’m sure it’s natural instinct to compare my performance, knowledge, and achievements against my colleagues. If nothing else, it gives me [...]
Forget the Bottom Line; Focus on Your Family
I was very inspired after reading an article recommended to me about an emerging tech scene that is now blossoming in – of all places – Atlanta, Georgie. Yeah, move over Silicon Valley…the South is positioning itself as a hotbed for tech startups and entrepreneurial ventures. But what I love most about this article, is [...]
VisualCV Website Ceasing Operations

The website enabled users to update their CV with information and upload photos and videos to make one’s CV more visually-appealing. [...]
To Explo and Elective Teachers, I’ve Failed You
I’ll just come right out and say it–to all of the elective and exploratory subject teachers with whom I’ve worked over the years, as a school administrator I’ve failed you. And miserably too. Trying to answer to all the legislative mandates, rules, and regulations that have placed such heavy emphasis on core subjects; professional learning [...]
Pinterest: Organize and Share Your Favorite Education Links and Images

Using Pinterest, individuals can create a board on a specific topic while “pinning” various images and links on their board for others to read. It’s described as “online pinboard” that yields people with the power to organize and share their [...]
Sorry, but I Won’t Think for You
As a school administrator and former special education teacher, I have tremendous respect and high regard for teachers. Occasionally, the teaching field can be extremely-difficult, stressful, and full of delayed gratification. Teachers are the “front-line force” for implementing a school district and school building’s goals and objectives. It is teachers that face the numerous academic, [...]
Principals Need to Make the Uncomfortable, Comfortable
Yesterday, our district dedicated the day to school-based staff development, with an emphasis on curricular issues. But, during the second-half of the day, I dedicated my high school grade-level team attention toward our ongoing planning/implementation of a school-wide positive behavior supports (PBS) program. I would be flat-out lying if I said this planning process went [...]
