2/4/2017

0 Comments

 

I had a great phone conversation with STEM Educator Fredi Lajvardi about his teaching, future projects, and ideas of making Science engaging for students.  Recently his work has  been highlighted in a documentary, Underwater Dreams, a Movie Starring George Lopez, called Spare Parts, and an upcoming iMax release.  I was really impressed with Fredi's body of work, his ideas on the future of education and his inspirational students. 

Check out Fredi's work:

A Great Conversation with Innovater Eric Curts

When a colleague of mine recommended I look at Eric's professional development site, http://controlAltAchieve.com I was really blown away with how well developed, organized, and powerful this site is.  Eric provides a treasure trove of information and helpful hints to  empower your teaching and your students' learning.  While he primarily discusses Google Apps for Education #GAFE his ideas and suggestions can be certainly applied across technologies and platforms.  What's more, Eric has a really fantastic presentation style that makes his videos and tutorials easy to watch and very relevant.  

I highly recommend checking this site out on a daily basis and following Eric on Twitter, and Google Plus.

My interview with Dr. Wilkomm was a true learning experience.  She has an amazing body of work that I only scratched the surface of.  She is the Director of New Hampshire’s State Assistive Technology Program with the Institute on Disability at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and is an associate professor in the Department of Occupational Therapy.  She will have two sessions at OETC16.  Her first session will be a make and take offering entitled, "Creating Reading and Writing Solutions in Minutes for Students with Disabilities"  Her more formal  session is:  "101 Solutions for Easier Living, Learning and Working"  She gives a nice overview of these sessions plus talks about her vast experiences and innovations to help people with disabilities.  Fascinating!
