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

Joseph, excellent point & I think there's the danger of missing out on the joy & thrill of the hands-on "tear down." I mean this in light of whatever we're working on, whether it be an engine or a math problem. There is a danger of circumventing the process to get to the conclusion & we need to help our students learn to think through the problem. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.

Working with Students with Learning Disabilities

Michael, this is definitely a challenge & difficulty. I find that if we show we are open to helping & make ourselves available this sometimes helps the students to open up more. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
