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 Memorable Examples

Alexcia, so true. I tutored a young lady when I was in college in our western civ history class. I turned the facts into stories & her grades greatly improved & she said it was because she could remember stories but not stale facts & dates. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.

Alan, I think this is great & the kind of creative thinking we need to embrace & incorporate. I think you could also connect a critique of the information/data mined with this activity. Who came up with the most reliable/accurate info, how far did you dig, or did you just take the top 2 search results, etc. Thanks for sharing. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
