Welcome to my blogging journey through the EDUC5205G, Leadership and Technology, course.  My name is Rachel Johnson and I am the Head of Science & Information Technology at White Oaks Secondary School in the Halton District School Board.  I am taking this course as part of my M.Ed. program at UOIT.  I've always loved learning; this is evident based on my prior educational background as I have an Honour's B.Sc. in Biochemistry, a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, and a B.Ed.  My mom always used to ask me when I would leave school and get a "real job".... guess that's never going to happen!

Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions or comments about this blog.
