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!

Think of it this way: Before heading down a ski slope, skiers see clear symbols indicating the degree of difficulty they’ll encounter, from green “beginner” circles to “check your life insurance first” double black diamonds. Wouldn’t it change the way parents saw schools and interpreted grades if they had a similarly simple indication of the…
