I’m presenting at the Ohio Educational Technology Conference! #oetc19

Byryan

From February 12 through February 14, the Ohio Educational Technology Conference will take place at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. This is the 20th year that I’ve attended the conference, so it’s becoming second nature.

I will be presenting twice. First up will be my 5 minute ignite style FREdTalk presentation on Wednesday, February 13th at 8:30am in Hall A. FREd is an acronym for Finding Real Education. The topic of my FREdTalk is on artificial intelligence and whether a robot will be able to replace a teacher.

My second session is titled 0x0D (13) ways to teach like a hacker. This session will be on Wednesday, February 13th from 1:00pm – 2:00pm in A111. I will be talking about different tips and tricks that you can use to streamline your classroom and help you become more efficient, freeing up time to teach. The presentation and additional materials will be online shortly, so even if you can’t attend my presentation you can still use the information!

With all due respect, this is what I call Edutech Shiny Toy Syndrome. And it is out of control. Kids don’t need screens for individualized educational experiences. They are already on those stultifying, addictive, isolating screens far too much. Bah! Humbug! Source: Silicon Valley’s Schools Program — Students Are an Afterthought | National Review I don’t…
