Keynote: Change is Good, You Go First
"We need to prepare students for the world that is their future, not the world that is our past." Prepare students for the world that is their future. Engage learners, change the learning environment, and transform the way students are taught. Educators and administrative leaders can be the “Agents of Change” to upgrade our classrooms in the 21st Century. Empower our teachers, educational leaders and students by giving them more control over their own learning. Learn how to boldly step up to the challenges and the need for teachers to be prepared to teach in a technology-rich learning environment and meet the demands and challenges of 21st Century learning.
