Getting Started...

Well now I've done it. After many requests I have finally started my blog, Educationally Speaking! My hope and dream for this blog is to share with you ideas that will help capture and maintain the focus of students in your school. After creating the digital course, HOCUS FOCUS I realized just how important those simple techniques were. Especially as we watch class sizes grow larger and larger. I have been an educational speaker for over 30 years and during all that time I have used the art of magic to make learning FUN!

But I'm not the only one who has great ideas and that's why this blog has come about. In the upcoming blogs I will be sharing great ideas, tips and resources for the classroom and the school as a whole. So check in frequently and I promise some "real secrets" that you will be able to use. Now keep in mind that these ideas are for anyone who works with kids. In fact, I shared a number of these principals this fall at the University of Scouting for the Northern Star council here in Minnesota. And I
humbly share the fact that my class was very popular and got the highest ratings there. Only one real teacher attended but the information was valuable to the leaders because they worked with kids.

Until my next blog,
