Presentations/Resources

I have had the privilege of presenting at numerous local, state, national and international conferences and workshops. I try to tailor my presentations to the groups I am working with and provide not only relevant educational research but more of a real life approach. My goal is to share from my own teaching and learning experiences that will hopefully spark discussions that will ultimately improve learning and teaching. I am always willing to share and work with groups of educators in an effort to build a strong community of learning dedicated to constant improvement of education.

I primarily use Prezi and slideshare for my presentations and feel free to view/share/edit as you see fit for your own purposes.
