MY Philosophy of TeachingI view myself as a facilitator for both students and teachers. Every person, young or old, has untapped strengths that they bring to any situation. My job is to help learners refine and choreograph those strengths while eliminating the barriers that present themselves along the way. I believe in using technology to enhance, engage and communicate in ways that provide a rich experience for every person I encounter.
