About me

I am a career educator (27+ years) in higher education at the university and career college level.    I love helping colleagues put the pieces together to learn how to be the best instructor/educator possible.

Patricia, I also truly believe that presence in vital. A student just told me today how she loves the announcements that I send out that "poke" her into doing her work. Renee Shaffer

Tomi, Does the IM work for you? Just curious. Renee Shaffer
Tomi, Oh yes, students are always telling me that "professor so and so didn't know what he/she was doing with tech, etc". they might have known what they were doing but from the students standpoint, they didn't. Many times, I make sure to tell students WHY I am doing what I am doing because many cannot infer. Renee Shaffer
Tomi, Oh I love that statement. As a massage therapist, I don't heal but I help and guide the client heal. It is the same for me in education. Well said. Renee Shaffer
