    10 Things that Great Teachers Do (Keynote presentation by Eric Kane)

    We've all had great teachers.  Teachers who have inspired and motivated us.  Teachers who made us want to be better students. The good news is that we can all become that teacher for our students!  This practical keynote presentation will look at 10 things that you can do starting Monday to challenge, inspire and motivate your students...and yourself!

    優れた教師が行っている10の指導法
    素晴らしい教師は我々のモチベーションを高め、目を見開かせ、よい学習者になりたいと思わせる。実は我々もそうした素晴らしい教師になることができる。本発表ではすぐに始められる具体的な10の指導法を取り上げる。

     

    Borderless Publishing - Going Digital (Workshop with Eric Kane)

    The thought of turning ideas into something to be shared with others is a dream many teachers and authors have, yet traditional publishing models are often out of reach for most.  There are other options. Opportunity is everywhere to deliver high-quality, effective materials to those all over the world in near-synchronous time. Learn about how one teacher has utilized these opportunities to partner with online content delivery systems to share learning materials with children and teachers around the world.
