Brent's Presentations

Tweet to Learn: Twitter for Professional Development

Picture
Social media is a powerful tool that can be used for far more than announcing to the world that you’re drinking a Café Mocha at Starbucks. Come learn how Twitter can help you create your own Professional Learning Network by connecting with like-minded educators all over the world. Join the growing number of teachers and administrators who are sharing ideas and resources, 140 characters at a time.    


Tech Tools for Administrators

Picture
Don’t forget about us! Educational technology isn't just for classroom teachers. With the constantly growing list of demands placed on school administrators, it is imperative that we leverage emerging technologies to increase our efficiency and productivity as leaders in our schools. We expect our teachers to incorporate technology into what they do, so let’s lead by example! In this session, you’ll learn how to use Google forms for classroom walkthroughs, free screencasting software, Evernote, and much more!

What I've Learned...Lessons from the Classroom
(and Office) 

Picture
Everyone loves a good story, and after 17 years as a classroom teacher and administrator, Brent has an abundance of them to tell. Be inspired as he transparently shares some of his experiences (both successes and failures) in the classroom and front office, along with the invaluable lessons learned from these experiences. Whether you're a first-year teacher or a 20-year veteran, join Brent for story time with a message!

You already have a classroom website, but now you want to take it to the next level.  Learn from an experienced teacher how to transform your website by incorporating dynamic, practical, and easy-to-implement ideas.  See how adding elements like audio, video, widgets, and student contests/clubs can not only provide your visitors with quality information, but a reason to return to your site again and again.  The cost?  Nothing but a little time since all of the ideas covered in this presentation can be implemented using already-installed software or free web resources! 


Educational Technology: Without Why, How is Irrelevant 

Picture

Too often, new technology tools are introduced to teachers in a "how-to" format, without first giving them a reason to use these new tools.  Presentations like this leave teachers thinking, "That's a great tool, but how does it apply to my classroom?"  Let Brent inspire you as he shares some of the "whys," as well as several specific "ways" teachers can use educational technology in their classrooms.  


Podcasts and iPod Flash Cards: Study Tools for the 21st Century 

Picture

Don’t compete with iPods and the Internet, technology that constantly vies for your students’ attention.  Leverage it.  Harness the tools that students already own and use on a daily basis.  Learn from a classroom teacher how to easily create podcasts and iPod flash cards to help students review material and study for tests.  Classroom examples, video tutorials, and web links will be provided.  Don’t let technology get in the way of your students studying - make it part of their studying!
