I had looked at it briefly before, but the last time someone sent me a prompt I thought it time to take a better look and write it up.

I didn't know Amanda well, but we chatted at conferences and worked on some early portfolio explorations related to ABE programs. She'll definitely be missed! On to another chapter, though...admittedly, I'm a bit jealous. Cindy Thanks for posting this, Scott!

We worked on some neat projects together and I learned so much from her. The list of Amanda's contributions to EdTech in BC goes on and on. She was the type of person who would listen to everybody's ideas (and she DID know everybody!) and make them become reality. Remember that fabulous "Connections" conference in Whistler? Everybody nibbling on hors d'oeuvres buzzing about the last sessions they attended while Amanda weaves through the crowd with a walkie talkie strapped to her belt and a huge smile. And how about the Online Developers’ Exchange Network Database (ODEN)? -- good example of a service before its time. I can't wait to see the BC EdTech history Amanda is putting together. Good luck with all your new adventures, Amanda! :-) I also owe Amanda a lot. We worked on some neat projects together and I learned so much from her.

I never ceased to amaze me how connected she was, and on such a personal level, with so many people across the province. You would be hard pressed to visit a BC post sec institution where Amanda didn't know anyone, and know them well. Happy retirement, Amanda!
