Certificates, Rocks, and Wicked Cold - The Week in Review

Good morning from Paris Hill, Maine where wind chill is currently -27F and it's only going to get colder as the sun comes up and the wind picks up. Usually, I like to go outside and do something fun with my dogs and kids on a snowy day. But today is going to have to be an indoor play day. Wherever you are this weekend, I hope that you are warm and that you have time to play too.

I’ve given keynotes at conferences from Australia to Alaska for groups of all sizes from 50 to 2,000+. My keynotes focus on providing teachers and school administrators with practical ways to use technology to create better learning experiences for all students. I like to shine the light on others and so I often share examples of great work done by others as well as my own. Click here to book me today.
