Below are my sessions for this year's conference. I absolutely cannot wait to learn and share at one of my favorite conferences of the year. Digital notes and resources will be shared at each of my TCEA learning experiences as well as opportunities to connect and continue to learn beyond the conference. Hope to see you there!

I have to admit, I am super stoked about this session! I absolutely love to share the power of Genius Hour and how students can learn the standards while pursuing their passions. I'm looking forward to sharing a ton of technology tools as well as a process known as the 6 Ps of Genius Hour that can be used throughout the process to make passion-based learning even more meaningful and manageable for educators. If you or anyone on your campus is wanting to implement Genius Hour, you can't miss this session!

Throughout this fast-paced session, I'll share practical ideas that can be implemented immediately to grow EVERY learner as we make it a priority to design for depth. Learn new ways to use meaningful technology tools in the experiences that you design to engage today's learners.
