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.

Technology and Generation Y Learners

John, you make an excellent point here regarding their interest level. Too often we assume that if it's technology, the student will be interested, but they must have an interest in the subject too. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
