More About Me
Jerry Thacker--When yYou Need A Personalized Learning Expert" The rapid progress of today's global technology has changed the life context of 21st century learners. Education philosophy, pedagogical know-how and training delivery methods must change to fit today's lifestyles. Technologically immersed students, who will have 3-5 careers and up to 15 jobs in their lifetime, must engage in a process of constant and never ending improvement. Providing them with the needed digital tools to let them retrain and remake themselves, on demand, is what a well-crafted digital/distance education program should deliver. My goal is to create the ultimate personalized, anytime, anywhere, any device education program for your learners. “We hire Jerry because he thinks differently.” –25 year client • Big-picture thinker • New Idea Producer • High energy, Animated • Results-oriented • Analytical problem-solver • Empathetic listener • Coach/Mentor • Research Savvy Realist • Strategic Planner, Facilitator • Life-long Learner, (A.
