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.

Challenges of Using Students Groups

William, this is a great strategy to assist the students. You are right, most workplaces utilize teams of some kind & that work is typically done "on the clock." Additionally this acknowledges that you, as instructor, recognize that you don't have to be the center of attention for learning to occur. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
