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.

Gen Y Students and Technology

Robb, this is true, yet I would argue that the Gen Y learner does need to be made aware of certain guidelines in regard to the use of devices. I have many Gen Y students who complain about how absorbed in technology many of their peers are. While it has become a "normal" part of their existence, there is something within us as people that longs for personal interaction & I personally don't see it happening via technology.
