My Presentations and Workshops

 

"The numbers are striking — eight out of 10 schools in the United States have the Internet, but that does not mean teachers currently have the skills and knowledge to integrate emerging technologies into the curriculum," said Roberts, who played an instrumental role in the Clinton Administration’s Educational Technology Initiative. "That’s why attending reputable and quality conferences is essential for educators today. Teachers get the opportunity to learn classroom solutions directly from their peers and experienced educational leaders from around the country - which helps them teach their students to use the technology when they get back home." Linda Roberts, Former director of the Office of Educational Technology at the U.S. Department of Education

The U.S. Department of Education recommends that school districts allocate 30% of their technology budgets for staff development.

Below is a list of workshops and presentations I have and will be giving at conferences and schools. I am available to provide customized staff development at any location.  I can also conduct workshops as webinars.  I am a member of the CAST UDL Faculty Cadre and can give workshops on Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
