I have enjoyed working as an independent and contract consultant the last 10 years. I learn so much from travelling around to other districts around the state and country. My area of expertise is project managment, developing training courses and materials, developing virutal courses and training on software and hardware.
I have been privileged to work in education for the past 11 years. I have learned a lot about myself and about education during my time as an educator. One sure thing about education is that it will always change! Change is not a bad thing I have learned, it is just another chance to do things a different way!

Newsworthy Technology Updates
The iPad Corner
It seems that the iPad has made a huge hit in education over the last several months. Although I wasn't an early adopter of the device (mostly because they were out of stock), I did finally purchase one and have owned it now for almost a year. Once I finally got one of my own, I realized
that there are many possibilities even in education for the iPad. One of the most daunting aspects of the iPad is the huge variety of apps available. I've listed a few of my favorites (educational and non-educational). Feel free to send me your favorites! Click here to see my favorite apps.
