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.

Characteristics of Generation Y Learners

Charles, you are right that this is a significant challenge. I've had several interesting conversations on this topic lately with some of my Gen Y students. I've been trying to explain to them that to quickly determine a class or information is not relevant or boring is first of all unwise as it may take a while to sink in & then it's also rude to the other individual.
