Lets Work Together

My Services

I partner with organizations in helping to understand the changing nature of learning
by working together in long-term, embedded professional development that prepares us all for our future, not our past.

Keynotes

Whether looking for something for your upcoming conference or a motivating start of the year talk, I love to motivate audiences and make people stop and think how technology is affecting our lives today and the current generation in our schools.

Conferences

From one-hour sessions to full-day pre-conference workshop I have done it all. When not presenting I run my own conferences as well. Knowing what it takes to make an event successful for everyone involved.

Professional Development

I offer both one-day professional development sessions as well as long-term contracts with organizations and schools that implement a plan to use technology in authentic and purposeful ways.

Microsoft's Teaching Happiness Webinar

Microsoft invited me up to Redmond, WA to sit down and have a conversation with Frank Chiappone about cell phone use in the classroom and other thoughts on education.

Working with Jeff

Over the past 10 years, I have worked with schools and districts both here in the United States as well as Internationally. My main focus is to provide support in redefining the Teaching and Learning culture to match the connected landscape we now live, work and play in. Technology is impacting every part of our lives and we are educating a generation that is different. They expect learning to be different, they expect learning to match the connected culture we now live in. Working together, we take a deep look at how we prepare students today for their future, not our past.
