The designs are improved, file sizes a little smaller, shorter articles and some updated content. So, if you are going to Rome or know anyone going to Rome, buy the apps. Tour Rome with Mary Redekop as your tour guide! Mary and the apps provide 1600 years of art and architecture in two days! Use them to plan your trip ahead of time, during your time in Rome and when you get home and want to remember what you saw. And the big change is that both apps are available in the Google Play store now. It took two years for me to get them there! ~~ I need a nap now!~~

The Heart of London App was recognized as a Leader in Innovation

​THIRD PLACE WINNER: We are so excited and delighted to announce that the Heart of London app was recognised for the first ever Ontario’s Southwest Innovation Award for planning and implementing a new, innovative tourism product.  

The Heart of London addresses the need for content to be provided to mobile users where they want it and when they want it, while drawing them into downtown London; the Heart of London. 

By combining storytelling, compelling graphics and video with historical research, scenic localities and place markers, London history becomes accessible to both visitors and Londoners. Every attempt was made to open up the people and places of the past by using current, mobile technology.  History and stories from London's past are presented in this slick, innovative and easy to use app. 

Heart of London Objectives:
  • To attract tourists and locals to downtown London, specifically, the Forks of the Thames River, while encouraging exploration of the history and features of the area by providing a relaxed and informative mobile tour.
  • To inspire healthy participation through walking or riding while at the same time providing a wheelchair accessible activity.
  • To provide an “on demand” approach to tourism and London history through the use of current mobile technology
​
The app is a fun and informative historical tour of London Ontario, with videos included which provide over ninety minutes of information.   

Teachers: The app fits in the Provincial curriculum for Grade Six Social Studies; Strand A: Heritage and Identity: Communities in Canada, Past and Present.

Words from Deb...

My entire career has been filled with satisfied clients who have experienced positive and productive technology based learning with me.  I know the technology, the terminology, and the tricks of the trade. Most of all, I know how to share what I know with my clients in a positive, stress-free, learning environment.

I am tech savvy with the ability to listen, demonstrate and explain what you are trying to do in words that everyday people can understand. I will help you with a follow-up plan of study and success. Individual or corporate training available.

I am currently presenting a series of workshops at Bluewater Health Hospital in Sarnia.

What do I know?

Check out the Software Support link to see a list of applications with which I am familiar and can help you achieve technological success. I am available for one-on-one learning, corporate training, website design, and as a keynote speaker. I am especially available to talk "app" development with you.

Web Site Design

I have been building websites and teaching how to build sites since 1995. The secret to building a useful website is teaching the owners of the site how to maintain it on their own, so there is no need to pay any monthly editing fees. Examples of sites can be seen at: St. Thomas Elgin Second Stage Housing , Alma College Alumnae, Icap London, Rock Your Career Club.

STEGH HUGO Project 

It was a wonderful team experience at the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital as it implemented HUGO throughout the hospital. HUGO is part of the Cerner® solution which enables physicians, nurses and other authorized users to share data and streamline processes across the entire organization.

I developed and delivered training sessions to over 300 nurses.  We all learned together and finished up the classes ready to move forward with the new technology.
