Bring Your Heart
I have a passion for helping educators and learners create meaningful learning experiences through the use of technology. I believe that we overuse the term "engagement" in our work and should focus more on inspiring curiosity in our learners - and in ourselves.
​
I have contributed so many things to the learning design space over the years - the most important being my heart. Bring your heart to your work, and you will thrive!
