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.

Gen Y Students and Technology

Steven, I agree although in talking with some of my students recently there seems to be a rising "rebellion" against technology. I'm hearing from more & more who are withdrawing from facebook, twitter, etc. It's just too much. Dr. Ryan Meers

Scott, I have found this to be true as well. I've said before that part of the problem is the technology is just there & they haven't been exposed to other methods or ideas. Dr. Ryan Meers
