Kids With Ideas
What are your thoughts about teens today? Have you seen how they dress? Have you watched them use phones, tv, computers, games and eat all at the same time? Generally the youth of today get a bad rap. Well let me tell you not to lose hope. I had a chance to talk to 4 [...]
When did we stop caring about the environment?
We talk big about the environment BUT are we doing anything on the micro/personal scale? Look around and you know what not a heck of a lot is being done. You and I are full of excuses. What a shame. He have a great opportunity to create change and we are letting it slip by. [...]
Smell This!
Frank Baker is by and far one of the most prolific media literacy resource collectors in America. When we thought about media literacy 30 years ago the terrain was pretty bare. Today media literacy includes 4 screens and an assault on the senses. Think Lovemarks! What about the senses? Here are some great links, smells [...]
Who would have thought?
I have seen these in Canada, the famed Inuksuk, but never in the UAE! And yet here we see one in Old Town Dubai in front of the Palace Hotel, very cool. I always find it interesting how ideas cut the cultural barriers.
Back to Old School!

Local/regional thinking
It is amazing how often we don’t look around us for ideas, inspiration and talent. Too often if you are from Canada, like me, you might think Canada is the place to look for inspiration. Or you might go to the US or a bit farther, but the reality is that there is a lot [...]
Love what you do!
Sure it is easy to say love what you do, but it is the truth! The other day I was talking to a group of 10 year olds about media and the teacher came up to me after and said I was great. Of course I took the praise but that talk was what I [...]
The TEDxZU file
I have been a part of many TEDx events since 2009. I co-curated the 1st TEDxDubai with Giorgio Ungania in 2009, an amazingly HUGE event right out of the blocks. Then I found my home in events that are youth and education centered. Education centered in that they are organized by schools. TEDxAbuDhabiU was my [...]
