Couros is a internationally known educator in the area of innovative leadership, teaching, and learning. He has worked with all levels of school--from K-12 as a teacher and technology facilitator, school and district administrator, and is the author of the book “The Innovator’s Mindset; Empower Learning, Unleash Talent, and Lead a Culture of Creativity.” We are thrilled to announce that George will also offer breakout sessions during his time with us at #NETX17!

His breakout sessions include:

  • What is innovation in education and how do we move forward?

  • Twitter for administrators/educators/parents

  • Blogs as a portfolio

  • Google Apps in the Classroom

  • Web 2.0 Tools for learning/communication

  • Creating a Digital Footprint for our Students

  • Digital Literacy

  • Digital Identity

  • Creating Blended Learning Environments

When working with groups, Couros encourage discussing the “why” through a keynote then following up with hands-on workshops. This pushes learning forward, having participants leave with ready to use tools and educators ready to implement their new learning immediately.

Twitter- @train_ugly

Trevor Ragan has one goal: to challenge and question EVERYTHING that we think we know about sports, education, and development. On his journey he has worked with best-selling authors, olympic coaches, professional athletes, renowned professors, and thousands of coaches, teachers, students, and players from all over the world.These experiences helped him to discover some incredibly important research in the fields of motor learning, performance science, and psychology that should have totally changed the way we train and develop students, athletes, and people in general – but they have not. His mission is to change that! Trevor’s focus is to encourage a growth mindset, leadership, and the science of learning. All while adhering to his philosophy that getting better is NOT pretty. It's time to ruffle some feathers, cause a ruckus, and make change.
