Laurie is a lifelong educator, technology enthusiast, and passionate proponent of restorative, humanistic approaches to teaching learning. Currently, she is researching and developing digital tools that make it easier for local teachers to connect, collaborate, and share ideas and resources. Inspired by her time as an urban educator, this platform will allow collegial collaboration beyond the walls of school buildings, and provide a communal solution to resource deficient schools.
