I am currently enrolled in EDM 510, an educational media course, through the University of South Alabama, so for a time my blog posts will reflect things we are doing in class, and since many of you following me are educators, I hope you will find some things that you can use.

GREAT NEWS! I am publishing a book of my poetry through a framework for educators who want to teach creative poetry and form poetry. 

BAD NEWS! I had to take down most of my work and many of my posts from this site (photography and poetry) because I am using it in my publication (and for a course), and can't have it posted elsewhere until after it is formally in print. I left behind a couple of fun pieces though, and I kept the background photography taken a a cemetery in Mobile (though it looks almost exactly like a one I took at Metarie in NOLA). 

Lesson to take away from this--don't post your work (graphic or written) willy nilly on social media if you want to publish it formally for fun and profit.

Hi Dr. Ferguson,
I enjoyed reading your blog site and very much enjoyed your pictures and poetry. It is too bad that you had to take down other pictures that had been posted. I would have liked seeing them! Your matrix was very easy to read and concise. You provided good examples of technology use with classroom activities and in the classroom. I liked how you added the picture of the microscope into your matrix. I am new to blogs and this was my first time setting up a blog. It was fun, but I had trouble getting my chart onto my blog in an easy, readable form. One question I had was, how were you able to post your chart?

Great question! I did a screenshot of the word document and posted as a picture!
