where learners, teachers, and writers meet…

Thanks for stopping by. I’m Mike McGuire and this is my site. I am a writing teacher at a community college near Chicago, Illinois, USA. I first conceived of this site as I found myself wanting to connect to other teaching professionals interested in creative dialogue and the exchange of ideas. Of course, as a teacher, I am also interested in helping and connecting with students, so I hope that this site can reach the students among us as well. And finally, as I see it, there is a third possible audience for this site—home schooling parents. Just recently, my wife and I have embarked upon a home schooling journey with our 4-year-old son. (It’s sure to be an adventure.) In part, I hope that this site offers something to other families on such adventures of their own. So, check out the different areas. Click around and drop me a comment or two. I’d love to hear from you.
