Keynote-Chris Wejr
Windows of Change: How Connected Educators are Sharing and Driving Real Reform
REAL change is happening NOW in education… but not through top-down policies and pressure. Through social media and the networking of
passionate educators from around the world, we are seeing REAL education reform from the ground up. Technology has given educators a window into other classrooms and environments to borrow, build upon, and share innovative ideas to drive educational change. We are currently going through one of the most exciting and challenging times in education. Change starts with a single step and technology can help us navigate these exciting and challenging steps together.
Chris Wejr will share powerful stories of real educators creating change that benefits both professional and student teaching
and learning. Although technology can help, it is only the educators that can truly make education reform a reality.
The keynote will at 8:30am on June 18, 2013.
