I’m an Educational Consultant for Advanced Learning Partnerships working with schools, districts and governments across North America. I worked as Community Manager for Discovery Education Canada from 2012-2019. From 2002-2012, I worked as a Digital Learning Consultant with the Prairie South School Division in Moose Jaw, SK, Canada. Previous to that I taught grades K-8 for 14 years. I specialize in the use of technology in the classroom. I hold a Master of Education in Communications and Technology from the University of Saskatchewan. I have also taught as an adjunct lecturer for Wilkes University.

Since late 2004 I’ve been immersed in understanding what the Read/Write Web is all about and how the new shape of knowledge changes how we all learn. I believe teachers and students ought to use technology to connect ideas and learners in safe, relevant, authentic ways to answer questions, share ideas and develop community. Learning can be and should be, fun and personal. I was fortunate to be awarded the 2010 ISTE Award for Outstanding Leadership in Technology and Education. This honour is primarily a reflection of the great people I work with both within my school division and beyond. My greatest asset is that I know smart people and how to find them.
