I am the Senior School principal at Balmoral Hall School, an all girls school in Winnipeg. I refuse to stop teaching Grade 9 Social Studies and I am passionate about the role that technology must have in 21st century learning.

I have been fortunate to have been part of the Microsoft conference in Hong Kong, Seoul and Seattle and have not only benefited immensely from the collaboration that took place amongst the innovative teachers, but have made life long global friends.

I have also had the opportunity to work abroad and have spent time in Kenya with Teacher's Without Borders Canada ( now Education Beyond Borders), and spent time in Guatemala and the Dominican working in foundations and orphanages with my students.

I can't wait to spend next week with all of you and the other participants in Washington and with my sidekick, Kent!
