//**"We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change....**//  //**the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn."**// // Peter F. Drucker, American Educator/Writer, 1909 // Welcome to my Wiki! This wiki is a culmination of my experiences as a business educator as well as some of my projects as a graduate student at Marian University. As you peruse the pages, you will find an abundance of Web 2.0 tools, along with practical applications I apply in my classroom, that you may find useful in your own classroom. This is only the tip of the iceberg, but will hopefully serve as a guide to what technology tools are available to us that can be used to not only enhance our classroom instruction, but help in the development of the 21st century learners.

My experience at Marian University has been one of personal fulfillment, achievement, and enlightenment. The advances of technology have given us no choice but to change the paradigm of education; the system, as we've known it, is broken and it is our responsibility as educators and administrators to put together a new structure that will encourage the children of the future to become independent thinkers, creative learners, and problem-solvers. Marian University's Educational Technology Master's Program embraces current technology and practices and teaches us, as students and educators, how we can apply those practices in our classrooms. The program is designed to demonstrate new ways we can infuse technology in our classroom as well as across the curriculum. I will continue to be a life-long learner committed to teaching the children of the future **__//how//__** to learn in the 21st century.
