Presentation Features a Unique Blended Delivery Format:
The presentations below will be delivered to provide a face-to-face and on line
blended learning experience for the audience. Information will be delivered in
the traditional presentation mode in front of the group, but in addition and
simultaneously, a live event will be conducted online for the connected
participants to use as a method to send feedback and reactions immediately on
the information presented during the address. They will also have the ability to
interact and have a dialogue with other individuals in the room. In addition, all
presentation slides, movies, links, and other presentation assets will be online
and available for those wishing to follow live with their own Internet connected
device. Finally, the audience will have access to other related materials, not
presented during this session, online as follow up to their experience. These
additional documents, video clips, links, and reports will all be made available
for those wishing to dive even deeper into the content presented. This depth of
content and audience participation is unprecedented and sets the example for
how blended learning environments and experiences can be created in the
future.

Keynote Title:
Elevating Your Professional Practices - Using the Cloud to Build Blended
Learning Experiences
Description:
“Shocking” is the word used today to describe the developments that have
taken place in education in the past 12 months. This word could be used to
describe the unprecedented budget cuts facing education today. However,
“Shocking” in this case is the word used by educators when they begin to
discover the new and affordable resources found on the Internet in a concept
called ‘Cloud Computing’. These cloud or web based assets are “game
changers”, and available to all educators regardless of position, location or
district many times for no cost! It is important for all educators to learn how to
maximize their potential for using cloud resources in their districts and/or
teaching practices. Today’s educator needs to be proactive in setting up
blended learning environments, focusing on 21ST Century skills, while using
both district and personal resources. Join John Kuglin as he navigates you
through key cloud-based concepts and applications, and challenges you with a
new 10 point technology based learning plan. This plan will help guide your
district into creating the blended learning environments needed to meet the
demands of a 21ST Century world.
Presentation Title:
Expanding Your Thinking: Moving to the Next Generation of Teaching
“Becoming a 21ST Century Educator is not just in word alone... But in
establishing a new vision, creating new learning environments, and retooling
yourself with a new set of skills that reach out to today's students.”
John Kuglin
Retooling ourselves is the only way we will be able to reach today’s learners,
which more and more are becoming connoisseurs from a buffet of delicious
technology treats. Our students are enticed daily with a plethora of “Web 2.0”
snacks from “The Cloud”. Creating motivating 21ST Century learning
environments for our digital “Media Snackers” is a formidable task. This
presentation will take you deeper into the 10 Point Personal Technology Plan
as described in the keynote address in search of innovative services that in
many cases are free! Discover new collaboration tools, distribution techniques,
and innovative ways to present information. John Kuglin serves as your guide
for an intriguing exploration of these new tools, and their intersection with the
classroom. Develop a better understanding for the role technology can play as
you face the increasing demands on educators during the challenging
economic times ahead.
