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

Tracey, yes this is where the value lies for our students. I do not promote the idea of using social networks for actual assignments, but they can be great tools for students to connect with their classmates to discuss projects, etc. Dr. Ryan Meers
