Now living in the land of the retired teacher, I maintain my e-portfolio. My research has resulted in a number of publications: I have written about education, internet safety, curriculum and technology. I am available for workshops, conferences and lectures in the areas of digitial technology & curriculum, Internet Safety, and brain research. My book is now out: Living and Dying with Dignity: A daughter's journey through LTC, - providing care at home for my late mother: Joan Jilks, and in LTC for my late father: Ray Jilks. The book contains valuable information about caregiving, and includes acronyms and a glossary related to aging, LTC and dying. Selections of it are posted on my BLOG: Dad's Brain Tumour . I am available to speak on death and dying, bereavement, grief, & mourning, as well as advocating for loved ones in the Ontario Health Care system. Visit Ontario Seniors for more health care information for those over age 50. See also: My Muskoka blog, My Reflections and Musings, and Thank Your Teachers.
