Techspo 2014

Techspo 2014 was a fantastic event.  I was fortunate enough to meet up with many of the dynamic educators in my PLN such as Scott Rocco (@ScottRRocco) Jay Eitner (@iSuperEit), Brad Currie (@bcurrie5), Tim Charleston (@MrCSays), Glenn Robbins (@Glennr1809), and many more.  Keynote speaker Alan November, posed questions to challenge educators’ views on Edtech.  He asked questions such as, “How many of your classroom assignments are Googleable?” 

I was honored to present two sessions on flipped instruction during the conference entitled, “All Things Flip!” and “Create Your Own Khan Academy”. An amazing educator, Janine DaSilva (@jdasilva_mrs), was my co-presenter and offered a first-hand perspective of how the flipped classroom has changed learning in her classroom.

Jay Eitner, presented on EdCamps, a powerful professional development movement that is truly “game-changing”.  To learn more about the EdCamp movement click here.  

For those looking to promote their school/district, the founders of #SatChat, Scott Rocco and Brad Currie, offered their audience proven methods in “20 Ways to Promote Your School Through Social Media”.  To view their presentation click here. 

It was a great conference (despite the Wi-Fi issues) in which I learned much not only from the sessions, but from the informal conversations I was able to have throughout the days.  And yes, Señor Diaz even made an appearance in a couple of sessions.  Looking forward to next year!
