Educational Conference with a twist

9/19/2010

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.

Nothing like being put on the spot….but totally worth it! Great job and keep doing what you’re doing.

    My name is Garth Holman.  I have been a middle school teacher for 16 years and teaching at the University of Akron for 8 years in their school of education.  I have a passion for learning and hope to pass that on to young minds.
