Mindful Stew

Simmering elements of digital technology, education, and purposeful living.

About Paul

Paul Barnwell

After growing up and attending college in New England, I arrived in Kentucky in the summer of 2004.  I’ve been here since.  When I’m not gardening, bow-hunting, cooking, writing, reading, and watching plenty of football in the fall, I teach English and Digital Media at Fern Creek Traditional High School in Louisville.  I’m also involved in the Center for Teaching Quality Teacher Leaders Network and the National Writing Project.

My job is important to me, but it doesn’t define me.   I used to spend more time writing solely about teaching and learning, and now I’ve decided to branch out a bit more.  I usually come up with more questions than answers.  Thanks for stopping by to check out the site.

Special thanks to Middlebury College, the Bread Loaf Teacher Network, the CE&S Foundation, and Write to Change in Clemson, SC, for supporting my graduate school work and projects in the classroom.

    Thanks for the mention! It’s inspiring to be engaged with such a thoughtful community of writers/thinkers/photographers, and I’m excited to see what else I will discover in the coming weeks and months.

      Of course! Your posts are very interesting and engaging. I couldn’t agree more. I learn so much and so many posts make me think and stretch my mind. I love it! BTW – I am still planning to reblog your post re the restaurants. Probably this week. :-)

    Paul,

    I love your story on digital storytelling recently on PBS.org and also your article on goal setting. I also been very involved for the last five years with helping students with digital storytelling. I’m a former special ed teacher and developed a program called Tel.A.Vision, http://www.telavision.tv. It is a curriculum, website and software to help youth create vision videos of their future as though everything they want in their life has already happened. It is had a profound effect on the students around the country that have completed these videos. If you’re interested please visit my website and if you’d like a free trial let me know.
    Best wishes
    George
