Tell our School Leadership 2.0 community a little bit about yourself. Feel free to post your email address and website. Also feel free to list your areas of interest. This will help other members dialogue with you.
After 40 wonderful years teaching Science in Great Neck N.Y., I retired in June 2010 as the Dept. Head of South Middle School and Earth Science teacher. I then taught 5 more amazing years at the North Shore Hebrew Academy High School in Great Neck. I was challenged with developing a hands on Makerspace curriculum to captivate and motivate students to take my elective on science research. I retired again just before the pandemic hit. Now that I am fully retired, I am on the Board of the Kindertransport Association to further the legacy of both my parents who escaped Austria in 1938 by traveling with the Kindertransport to Harwich, England. I have also developed a patent pending teaching tool called the Empathizer Brain Trainer- that I hope to bring to the education and medical markets.

    I really enjoyed your video, Peter, and I may check out the puzzle you demonstrate there ... very thought provoking!  I'm sorry you thought my comment was about your video.

    At the end of your video, there are 6 other videos, and I chose the one on the top left because as a principal, I incorporated some magic tricks and the kids loved it.  At the end of his video, another 6 appear there, and again, I viewed the one on the top left.  That is the video I was commenting on.  It was strange from the beginning, and I turned it off about halfway through.  I found it very weird that it would be a recommended link on SL.2.  Sorry for the misunderstanding, and keep up the good work!  David
