Dr. Doug as Guest Blogger!

Douglas Green — Fri, 28 May 2010 23:56:02 +0000

I am now a guest blogger at Dangerously Irrelevant, which is a popular blog devoted to technology, leadership, and the future of schools. The author is Scott McLeod, L. D., Ph. D. who is a professor at Iowa State University. The post is an article that I did on the idea that districts should think about cutting the position of technology director. This is a position I held from 1982 to 1993 before I became a principal. Thanks to Scott’s popularity, my article has attracted a lot of attention from his readers and is getting much attention of high profile people on Twitter. Let me know what you think.

At 2:30 am on September 8, 2011, a fireman knocked on my door and told me I had to evacuate as my apartment was soon to be flooded. What follows is my story for the next few weeks as I worked to establish a new normal.

Drumming In The New Year – Women On Drums

Douglas Green — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 07:13:29 +0000

To follow up on my Christmas post featuring young women on guitar (still available, scroll down), I feature young female drummers for New Years who are invading another male bastion. My goal is to entertain both genders and inspire young women to drum on. Happy New Year and thanks for making DrDougGreen so popular. Click title to see all videos.

An all girl drum group from South Korea is as good as it gets. Here we have The Drumcats on the street. Next we have The Drumcats on stage. If you want more, you get nine minutes of The Drumcats on stage with several routines.

March Madness – UPDATED 4/1/2010!

Douglas Green — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:39:07 +0000

Updated 4/1/2010 after announcement of round one winners (Start with slide 15 for update.) I couldn’t help but notice how the current madness associated with the Race to the Top finalists and the Obama Administration’s blueprint for reauthorization of NCLB are analogous to the other madness associated with March. Don’t forget that the secretary of education was a basketball player. Thanks to information from the New York Times, Education Week, and my own thinking, I have a humorous (I hope) and factual take on the current status. Let me know what you think (dgreen@stny.rr.com).
