Many of you know my friend Javi the Hippie from conversations in my books or the times I've referenced him in this blog. He is a talented writer, a great thinker and a phenomenal teacher. His students worked with my students on service projects and murals. He will be joining me on this blog. I'll let him write his own bio, though.

The plan is to co-write a series per month while occasionally writing on other topics when we feel so inclined. I'll be writing less (probably 1-2 posts per week) and adding my posts to johntspencer.com  and closing up some of the blogs that I've had for awhile (Pencil Integration, Ditch that Word and others).

I'm not abandoning edu-blogging altogether. Just pulling back a little and spending more time writing fiction. (Just finished A Wall for Zombies) Meanwhile, I hope that the 1-2 posts a week that I write here will be more intentional and thoughtful than what I've written lately.
