Yikes! I just realized that four days ago, this blogged turned 10 years old. Ten. Wow.
It all started with this post in 2003 where I railed against Flat Stanely cozying up to Karl Rove from Bush Inc.
And I haven’t stopped railing ever since.
That’s not true. I did stop in 2008, when I started teaching and was burned out by sharing my mind chunks with the interwebnets.
The rise of games in education and people getting it wrong changed all that. Watching educators, tired of being excited about wikis, suddenly get excited about video games got me blogging again.
And I’ve kinda meandered around talking about writing, technology in education, video games as learning tools, and a particular blocky game that folks just can’t stop playing.
I made friends through this blog, connected with people around the world and generally had a lot of fun speaking my mind.
It’s been a great decade. I’m looking forward to a few more decades down the line.
