Mrs. Crandall and I went to a Northeast Ohio Educational Conference at Bedford Heights High School on Friday Sept. 17. Alan November, international know educational technology specialist, was the keynote. He spoke about media literacy and technology use in public schools. He mentioned Twitter, wikis, blogs, and much more. He was inspiring and insightful. But then a twist came.
At the break, he walked over and started to talk to Mrs. Crandall and I. Mr. Pennington and I had lunch with him a month ago at Bowling Green while presenting at a conference on ways to integrate technology. He said, "Garth you should pull up the work your kids are doing and share it with this group." I was excited, but scared as well. Mr. November began the second part of the keynote and sure enough, said, "Mr. Holman, come up here and show them what your students are doing just down the street." Mrs. Crandall, caught this picture as I shared the stage with Alan November. It was a trill and something I will not soon forget.
On another note, I hope to have Alan November be one of the interviews we do for Podcasts for Tomorrow. Let have a great week.
