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

Jo, but I would argue that you can teach critical thinking through social media. By having the students evaluate certain statements that they or others have made & analyzing them from a critical standpoint. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
