total classroom makeover keynote
DESCRIPTION
Since her Georgia technology conference in November 2005, this teacher has experienced an extremely positive classroom makeover. Since that time she has co-created multiple award-winning global collaborative projects including the Flat Classroom project, and inclusion in Thomas Friedman's book The World is Flat and many media outlets. Her “Cool Cat Teacher” blog has skyrocketed into the edublogosphere, earning her multiple awards as well as grants for her classroom. Come here to learn how to give yourself an extremely positive classroom makeover as you transform your classroom safely into a place where students are engaged and collaborating with a global audience.NOTE: Many of these photos are purchased from istockphoto and therefore, I'm not able to allow download of this file.TRANSCRIPT
