The presenter is from Illinois - I was meant to be here! I might I say, she was an absolutely captivating presenter!! I will be low on notes for this post as I was sucked in to her fabulous ideas. I've attached a photo with her info....this is place that I will frequent. I want to be a student in her class!!

I am so pleased I went to this discussion!
One more important point the presenter kept saying was, teaching without technology is crap teaching. Incorporating technology into your old way of teaching is putting a bandaid on crap teaching... Just throwing in technology is not supporting meta cognition. The teacher needs to restructure, rebuild a student-centered environment in a flipped technology incorporated classroom. This presentation really spoke to me!
