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.

Technology and Generation Y Learners

Christian, I personally do not allow my students to use any social networking during class. While I allow web searches & laptops for notes, etc I cannot see a need to have them on FB or other sites during class. Dr. Ryan Meers
