About Me: I have been teaching in Oliver since 2010 and have taught in Wenzhou, China. I have a First-Class Honours BA in English and a B.Ed from Simon Fraser University. I live with my wife and son and enjoy travel, good food, good music and skateboarding.
Internet Flotsam and Jetsam
Text Twist is a word jumble game where you need to make as many words as possible out of six letters. It's a great way to improve spelling and build vocabulary.
Skateistan is a Charity Organization which uses skateboarding as a way to help disadvantaged youth in areas of high-conflict, such as Afghanistan. I love what they do!
Nitch.com is a great site pairing mainly black-and-white photographs and quotations of famous people. Check out their Instagram account - it's a great addition to your feed.
National Film Board of Canada is a complete repository of Canadian film, mostly available for free. This site has tons of my favourites from childhood. The only thing missing is the rattle and hum of a reel-to-reel film projector.
This website is a work in progress. Please send me your suggestions to make it better.
