John Damaso I am an English teacher, department chair, and educational technology enthusiast at Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix, AZ, USA. My educational philosophy requires the following: Early Adoption Immediate Deployment Improvisation Adaptation More specifically I believe that... Teacher enthusiasm and energy beget both from students High standards, if conveyed clearly, trump differentiation Immediate deployment of new technology in the classroom models an attractive fail-to-succeed method for students I have an MA in Linguistics from Queen Mary, University of London and a BS in Linguistics from Georgetown University. My Masters thesis was entitled "The New Populist Dictionary: A Computer-mediated, Ethnographic Case Study of an Online, Collaboratively-authored English Slang Dictionary." I do most of my reading in the summers and record short book reviews here on Goodreads. I run recognizable shapes via a mapping app on my blog Cardio Cartography, and I kept a Tumblr journal of my time in China called Pancake Colours.
