Students can tweet comments or questions via laptop or cellphone or they can add to the discussion after class.

Easy way to answer questions especially if you’re shy.

About Me and My Blog

I have worked a long time in post-secondary education and all of it has taken place at Sir Sandford Fleming College. My role for the past 12 years has primarily been part of course and program design teams to develop blended/online learning opportunities for full and part-time learners as a learning technology specialist (the postion has evolved over the years from web production technologist, elearning technologist to learning technology specialist).

I facilitate workshops, informal learning sessions, and answer any question that is directed my way :)

I am currently completing my Bachelor's of Adult Education at the University of Brock (one credit to complete).

I'm also a very proud mother and wife. My family are my barometer and the means by which I measure my balance.
