Training 2021 Virtual Conference

The keynotes alone would be worth the price of this conference, in my opinion. They will focus on innovation, positivity, equity and inclusion, and more. There are also tons of top-quality speakers at the concurrent sessions and I will be in the Game Garage helping to deconstruct games to create more engaging learning experiences. Dates are Feb 8 to 13.

What are people saying?

How is it possible that I left an hour-long session with (checks notes) more than 11 morsels for the mind? This was one of those rarified & distilled 'after-school specials' that will affect my practice for years to come. I immediately scanned my notes and sent them to the instructional leaders in my district after the session." Matthew Craig, Digital Fabrication Specialist, @choochupacabra

Valary didn't spend more time than was necessary to get us going. She welcomed us and eased into the objective, addressed a concept and got us talking, then led us on our merry way to work together. How she facilitated dialogue and helped generate ideas is the magic to her special sauce: it didn't feel like we were doing it -- we just did." Renard Boissiere, Jr., Educator, NOLA
