The Ditch That Textbook story
When I was teaching high school Spanish, my students struggled. They couldn't speak the language. They couldn't master basic concepts. I knew there had to be a better way.
So I started trying new ideas. Technology. Creativity. Storytelling. Connecting to my students' interests. Sometimes, they failed. But often, they worked! I shared them with my blog readers.
Now, over 12 years later ...
- +100k educators get practical teaching ideas through my free email newsletters
- You can find +600 posts about teaching and tech on my teacher blog
- I've written 6 books about powerful teaching with technology
- I've presented at hundreds of schools, districts, and events in the U.S. and beyond
Powerful keynotes. Dynamic workshops.
Teachers walk away from my keynote speeches feeling entertained, intrigued, motivated, and equipped to move forward. They lead teachers out of the status quo to innovate, to engage students, and to inspire.
My workshops are hands-on and practical, giving teachers concrete ideas they can use in their classrooms tomorrow. Teachers often use new ideas from my workshops in class the very next day.
My conference break-out sessions equip teachers with new ideas and new teaching strategies. They learn about cutting-edge educational strategies and tech -- and how to use them in the classroom.
Incredibly practical email newsletters.
Practical and creative -- with tons of ideas to use in class tomorrow.
