SPEAKING
I love to connect with educators through professional development and speaking opportunities. Please reach out below if you are looking for a workshop, featured speaker, or keynote presenter. I’d love to discuss your event and how I can help you inspire educators so they can inspire their students. My primary areas of focus are games-based learning, gamification, computer science, coding, robotics, and project-based learning. I also speak in the leadership and motivational realm about growth mindset, failure and adversity, and being teachable.
Below you’ll find details the sessions I do on a regular basis.
Keynotes
WHAT’S YOUR BACKFLIP?
“What’s Your Backflip?” challenges educators to do the things they’ve always wanted to do, but are afraid to try. We ask students daily to not fear making mistakes and “failing” Educators should have that same approach.
THE EDUCATION REVOLUTION WILL BE BROADCAST
Life, and teaching is about the stories we tell. In “The Education Revolution Will Be Broadcast” I tell my story, I share the stories of inspiring educators who are doing amazing work, and talk about why and how you should tell your story. You will leave inspired to begin sharing and have the confidence and knowledge to do it.
Workshops
Through partnerships, I can offer full and half day workshops on a wide range of K-12 tools and robotics. These workshops can be offered with robotics INCLUDED or BYOD. I can also offer discounts on future purchases.
