Keynote Speaker

Alan November

Monday, June 25, 2007

9:00am to 11:00am

Alan November's presentations are thought-provoking, creative, and motivating. He has an uncanny ability to tap into the needs and energy of his audiences. He makes people think, question, and also important, laugh. His background as a dorm counselor for at-risk students, classroom teacher, technology coordinator, alternative school director, city planner, new school designer, university lecturer and years of consulting around the world give him a breadth of understanding and educational experience.

Alan's personable and friendly nature, coupled with astute observations about the economy, education and technology make him hugely popular, entertaining and engaging. For Alan, it's not the technology itself that is important; it's the way we use it. His ideas about global communication, collaboration, assessment, and critical thinking have inspired schools, governments and corporations around the world to rethink and redefine their approach to education and technology.
