• Bringing ideas to life

  I can't help but dream about a kind of criticism that would not try to judge, but bring an oeuvre, a book, a sentence, an idea to life; it would light fires, watch the grass grow, listen to the wind, and catch the sea-foam in the breeze and scatter it. It would multiply, not judgments, but signs of existence; it would summon them, drag them from their sleep. Perhaps it would invent them sometimes - all the better. All the better. Michel Foucault

About

My name is Cindy Barnsley and I teach English and Modern History at a boys’ high school in regional Australia. This blog is a place for me to reflect on my efforts to effectively use technology to enhance students’ learning, with a focus on blogs, wikis and digital storytelling.
