Getting and Keeping Student’s Attention  
Experience the power of the “alien” that controls what information gets into your brain, and the brains of learners, without voluntary control. Once you literally experience your own attention filter/editor making involuntary selections of which sensory input is selected to pass into your own higher brain, you’ll learn what it takes to make the “cut” and how to use strategies to be sure learners’ brains "want to know what you have to teach".

The Emerging Culture of Teaching and Learning
A series of emerging concepts such as professional communities, renewed family engagement, “anytime anywhere” learning, and real time assessment are now changing the culture of teaching and learning.  This presentation will focus on practical examples of how emerging technologies provide educators with an opportunity for continuous professional improvement.  

KEYNOTE: Karen Hume

15,300 Hours
We have limited time with our students ---15,300 hours in all of Kindergarten through Grade 12. In that time, we need to help them get ready for a future that, as Yogi Berra said, “ain’t what it used to be.” But what does that actually mean for our classrooms? In this interactive keynote, we will discuss whether the concept of a uniquely 21st century learner is simply rhetoric or if we need to change our classroom practice to support student engagement and achievement.
