Presentations
I have the opportunity to work with administrators, teachers, educational assistants. I belong to various local, provincial and international organizations (Apple, ATLE ProLearn, DEN Star, ETCATA, GOOGLE Certified Trainer, Microsoft, ISTE, JTC, STAC*) that allow me to share my thoughts and offer presentation opportunities.
My life vision is to live a life filled with trust, respect, perseverance, healthy relationships, passion, thoughtful nutrition/exercise while inspiring others to reach their potential. My professional vision is to open up opportunities where learners (of any age) can explore, create, and imagine in any way that makes them successful, engaged and contributing members of society.
I offer various types of professional learning experiences:
face to face (one hour, half day, full day, at elbow) and virtually (synchronous or asynchronous). Many of my topics embed technologies within the educational, business and personal environments. I value the opportunities that low – high technology tools offer students and adults in their daily work and personal experiences.
