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.

Using Social Networks

michael, I've stated this before but I don't think the idea is to "learn from" social media, but rather to possibly incorporate social media as a tool to aid in learning. Suggesting work groups utilize these connections to discuss their projects, etc. Dr. Ryan Meers
