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.

Organizing Students into Groups

Dennis, great question. I would play with this number a little. Personally, I think 6-8 is a little large, I prefer groups of 3-5 & that may be a little more conducive to online. Dr. Ryan Meers
