Biographical Information
I have been teaching at the University of Regina for 11 years, in undergraduate Mathematics Education and in graduate Educational Technology classes. About 6 years ago I met some wonderful teachers who embarked with me and some colleagues on an exciting journey to learn about and with technology. We have been examining ways in which it makes sense to integrate technology into the curriculum. At times I feel like I am still at the very beginning of this journey--it seems that the more I learn about this area, there is still so very much more to learn. Before I came here to teach I was a graduate student at the University of Calgary, where I completed both my Masters and Ph D degrees in Mathematics Education. I was given the opportunity to teach undergraduate classes in Mathematics Education while I was a graduate student and this really inspired me to want to continue teaching at the university level. Although I graduated from the U of C with my Ph D, I completed most of my coursework at the University of Alberta, where I had a large energetic community of learners--all interested in Mathematics Education. It was indeed a vibrant community of learners; unfortunately I sort of 'parachuted' in one day a week so I was not able to fully participate in this community. I envied their hallway chattering and exciting coffee meetings. Before my three years of graduate studies in Calgary I was a classroom teacher in the North West Territories, where I taught all grades from 1-6, in Yellowknife and in Iqaluit. Prior to that I taught in Saskatchewan, England and Scotland, my country of origin. On a more personal level, I have always enjoyed traveling, hiking, camping, dancing, listening to music, and reading.
