Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership
My name is [mailto:nellie.muller.deutsch@gmail.com Nellie Deutsch ]. I hold a Doctor of Education in educational leadership, specializing in curriculum and instruction from the University of Phoenix online. I researched instructor experiences with implementing technology in blended learning courses in higher education.

English Teacher
I am a Canadian (Toronto) residing outside of Canada. I have been teaching English as a foreign language to high school and adult learners for over 30 years. I am interested in collaborating with other teachers worldwide.

Integrating Technology
In my free time, I help educators become aware of the value of integrating web 2.0 tools for instruction and learning on a Moodle website called Integrating Technology for Active Life-long Learning (IT4ALL) and on [http:www.integrating-technology.com IT4ALL GE]. I do this on a voluntary basis because I am passionate about learning and would like to see e-learning available and free worldwide. I believe collaborative social constructivist learning is the key to improving education and ultimately world peace.

Social Networking
I am involved in social networking: Doctoral Students, and e-learning in developing and developed countries. I am passionate about learning and love to share my explorations and findings with others. One of my projects was published on Once Upon a School. You are invited to [mailto:nellie.muller.deutsch@gmail.com contact me] directly.

Online Facilitator
In addition, I have participated in iEARN Moving Voices - Digital Video Exchanges and other professional development programs at iEARN and SCoPE, and facilitated online courses on Knowplace, and SCoPE.

Healthy Living
I practice mindfulness meditation, Reiki, and Alexander technique.

I would be interested in exchanging ideas on how Moodlers use the CMS. I wonder whether others wiki such as wikispacs, wetpaint, or pbwiki would be easier to manage than wikieducator.
