Professional Writing
InThinking:
IB Film
Inthinking is a subscription-based service that helps thousands of IB teachers around the world with discipline-based knowledge, teaching materials, interactive content, and weekly updates. My colleague Erick Pessoa and I launched the DP InThinking site for film in July of 2025.
Davis Publications &
School Arts Magazine
From 2012 to 2022, I served as a contributing editor and wrote over 50 articles for Davis Publications' School Arts Magazine, mostly in the context of my monthly Media Arts column. In addition, I guest edited two issues; one on Activism in Art (subscription needed for viewing) and one on Movement in Art.
I have three lessons featured in Davis' book, Media Arts, and an upcoming chapter in their textbook Exploring Visual Design.
Makers, Crafters, Educators
The book Makers, Crafters and Educators: Working for Cultural Change focuses on how Maker Spaces and the constructionist pedagogy of making can not just shift the culture of a school, but help teach and build towards socio-cultural transformation. My chapter focuses on how the work done between the Maker Space and Innovation Institute at the Shanghai American School creates a context for students to work on meaningful projects that respond to meaningful issues.
The Carrot Revolution
The Carrot Revolution was a blog that I created in 2005 and continued until 2018. It began simply as a way for me to share and record useful resources I was using in my art and film classes. As it developed, it became more focused on the pedagogy and practice of teaching art in the 21st century. The Carrot Revolution was featured in Art Education Magazine as a key resource for teachers looking to integrate technology and digital media into their classes. It also received Blogger's Blog of Note award in 2008 and was listed by Rasmussen College as a Top 50 educational blog.
The Carrot Revolution is no longer online but has been preserved in part by the wayback machine.
