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.

Using Social Networks

Cynthia, this is a good point & there are definitely general concerns with attention spans today. I would also say that we need to give our students (most of them, there are exceptions) the benefit of the doubt that when they are in the work environment, especially if it's something like healthcare, they will understand appropriateness.
