About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Characteristics of Generation Y Learners

Wendy, this is a good point & a good question. My belief is that it's some of both. I think some just want the information given to them. However, I believe that many in this generation have simply not been taught how to think critically & really research. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
