The Latest News

GLBTQ Online High School

Dave and a growing team of advisors are starting the world's first online school specifically for students who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or questioning their sexuality or gender. This population is at high risk of depression, suicide, harassment and a host of other challenges. We believe that a virtual school focused on their needs can help ease the sometimes painful high school experience of GLBTQ youth.

Gridblock Buster!

In cooperation with Web Courseworks of Madison, Wisconsin, DBGA has helped develop a new computer game for the Intelligent Transportation Systems Institute of the University of Minnesota. This little gem of a game introduces middle school and high school students to traffic control, and comes with educational tools, including lesson plans. You can play the casual version of the game at Kongregate or the full version at the ITS site

The game was profiled recently on WCCO radio. You can listen to a podcast of the story here Gridlock Buster on WCCO radio or read the brief text version.

A fun note

I recently got this email from a teacher participating in one of my online workshops. I think it captures very well the excitement that can be generated when teachers are given the freedom and motivation to explore online tools:

Hey Dave,

Just wanted to touch base with you about my assignment… I have been working on a couple of presentations over the past few weeks and in the process ... I have TONS of research done regarding using social networking sites in education so I will have lots to share w/ the staff… probably too much!

You should be happy to know that I am now a Facebook ADDICT and a 2nd life junkie, thanks to you!!!! I have also been exploring in Active Worlds (COULD NOT figure out how to fly to save my soul!!) have a MySpace page, a Shelfari page, am a member of two groups on Ning, have investigated Saywire, and belong to the SLED mailing list. Can you say information overload????

Have a great day!

Indeed, a great way to start any day!
