Ed Tech Talks
These are talks that are patterned after TED Talks, and focus on a number of different technology concepts as they relate to education. The talks that are found here are talks that I have given at different events for our school district. They cover a wide range of topics and ideas. I will be adding to these as I do more of them.
Technology Integration Myths & MysteriesThis talk focuses on what exactly technology integration is and what it looks like. Use of technology is great and it is always good to see the expensive equipment that has been purchased put to use. But who is using the technology and to what ends is also an important consideration.

Gamification of the CLassroomThis talk centers around the idea of bringing the elements of games that students love and that keep them coming back for more, into the classroom. It focuses on allowing students choice, providing multiple methods of feedback other than just grades, a system of rewards to allow students to show and share their acheivements, and much more.
