The New Compass Designs Blog

February 10, 2013 By barrie@compassdesigns.net 15 Comments

If you are a vaguely regular reader of this blog, you’ll have noticed its been a bit quiet recently. For the last year I have been hard at work in my new job as an Associate Director at a Graduate School of Education – the Upper Valley Educators Institute. As such I haven’t had the time to do much here at compassdesigns.net.

If you notice the new look, that’s now changing!

Along with the new look, I have converted from Joomla to WordPress. I don’t spend much time in the Joomlasphere now, and this blog will be changing to reflect that. Joomla will be just one aspect of web and technology topics I plan to talk about. A much larger focus will be education, teaching and schools. My day time job is training new teachers and principals, as well as working with teachers in schools. Many people agree that there are major issues with the American public school system. If you know a teacher, or have kids in schools, hang around for some hopefully interesting discussions.

The Skinny

I am an entrepreneur, web consultant, author and educator.

I have been involved in starting a K-12 School District, a Private High School, and three web tech companies. I also wrote one of the original and best selling books on Joomla.

And I like sailing with kids.
