Empower Educators
Come to learn, expect to play
Cynthia Tysick
Digital Literacy & Ed Tech Consultant
A Guide on the Side.
I'm a librarian by profession with expertise in information literacy, digital literacy, and education technology. I currently offer online and in-person consultations and trainings. I work with administrators, individual educators, and non-profit organizations to create a plan that fills their professional and personal goals and objectives. The work revolves around using digital tools not for the sake of novelty, but for practical, pedagogical and andragogical reasons.
The first step in the process is usually a 30 minute online meeting where we discuss your needs. From their I can offer
customized online or in-person trainings that are one time (one to multiple days) or over a series of weeks.
Many of my online course offerings are free with advanced courses coming at low cost. All courses include certificates.
Offline Digital Libraries.
Using Kolibri Learning I design a completely offline Learning Management System for your school, district, or organization. This LMS can be used with a main computer acting as a server with tablets and computers (laptops, Chromebooks, or desktops) accessing the content offline through a shared Local Area Network (LAN).
The final product can be an LMS with full class and grade integration or an offline digital library. The choice and scope is up to your organization. As a librarian I firmly believe in open access and a Kolibri library is a must have for schools in locations where the internet is unstable or non-existent.

What They Say.
I thoroughly enjoyed your digital education technology course. Your training on utilizing Canva and Google Workspace has significantly enhanced my ability to create engaging and interactive learning materials. My favourite part was learning about the Teachers for Teachers platform, which has been invaluable for sharing resources and collaborating with fellow educators. Thank you for such an enriching experience.
