I am an administrator and teacher in Alberta, Canada.  I’m passionate about exploring Web 2.0 tools and learning about how technology can be a tool to enhance and share learning.  I enjoy connecting online with other educators around the world.  My fascination with technology began in September 2012 when I accepted an online teaching position.  I was way out of my comfort zone; that’s often when we grow and expand our skills and knowledge.  My role was to develop and teach online ELL classses to High School students in China; I reside in Canada.  It was a rewarding and remarkable experience.  I became more and more interested in 2.0 web tools and how they could be infused into my teaching practice.  I researched as much as I could about how students of the “digital generation” like to learn.  I took online classes to learn from and collaborate with others who were more knowledgeable than I was in the area of technology.  I became involved in an online professional bookclub and explored a fantastic book entitled The Connected Educator – Learning and Leading in a Digital Age.

My journey with technology continues.  I created this blog to share my learning and my knowledge and to inspire other educators to join the journey and learn along-side me.  The digital world is here to stay so jump in and start learning!
