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

Brian, I too have found this to be a struggle. I think the key is to try & help them learn how to research effectively with technology & helping them realize that sometimes they need to move away from technology & do it the old fashioned way. Dr. Ryan Meers
