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

Thomas , so true! While I don't like to see the impact on attention spans, I would say the positive is that it has forced us, as instructors, to be more concise & to really plan lessons well. Rather than just talking & hoping something sticks. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
