The good news is that we can all become that teacher for our students!  This practical keynote presentation will look at 10 things that you can do starting Monday to challenge, inspire and motivate your students...and yourself!

    Borderless Publishing - Going Digital (Workshop with Eric Kane)

    The thought of turning ideas into something to be shared with others is a dream many teachers and authors have, yet traditional publishing models are often out of reach for most.  There are other options. Opportunity is everywhere to deliver high-quality, effective materials to those all over the world in near-synchronous time. Learn about how one teacher has utilized these opportunities to partner with online content delivery systems to share learning materials with children and teachers around the world.
