Trends, Tactics and Tools for 21st Century Learning

          My Keynote

      Thanks to Wesley Fryer!

I spent 13 years teaching art in the

classroom and working with kids to help

them plan for the future. A few years ago I left the classroom for a chance to work

at ESSDACK, an educational service

center that allows me to research and

develop programs that can help

educators and learners.

This is an exciting time to be alive and my passion is to help teachers get comfortable with the technology tools their kids need for success in the future. I travel everywhere trying to open new doors and develop new “pockets of possibility”. One of my other passions is educating kids, parents and teachers on the issues of bullying, cyber-bullying and online safety. Today’s parents are up against it with all of the new realities in kids’ worlds. I have the honor of having a career that permits me the time to research online issues and to share what I learn with people. There was no internet when I was a kid and nobody taught me how to be and act online. This means that as a father, I have a lot to learn and to keep learning. I know there are other adults who are missing the skills necessary to guide their kids online and kids don’t always know the real implications of their online behavior.


I like to bring my personal life experience and a sense of humor to the mission of helping prepare 21st century learners!
