Have you ever wondered about the true identity of the two
authors who speak to you as "we" in the Power Tools column?
Bob Albrecht is a
writer and developer of science, math, and technology
curricula. George
Firedrake is his alter ego and takes the form of a
dragon. Laran
Stardrake, whose quotes sometimes lead off the column,
is another of Bob’s “accomplices.” She’s
half dragon and
half human. As Laran is fond of saying, “Reality expands
to
fill the available fantasies.”
