Come enjoy a day packed full of exciting, relevant tips, tricks, and ideas you can take back to your classrooms and schools.  A diverse collection of Apple Distinguished Educators, Google Certified Teachers, and other education leaders from around the U.S. and the world will inspire you with how they're bringing technology tools into student learning experiences. You will come away with a fresh enthusiasm for trying new methods and pulling in tools you didn't realize you could use with your staff and learners. During thirty-minute sessions throughout the day, each lead learner will share his or her expertise with the audience, while the rest of the speakers will be available throughout the day at a kind of Genius Bar for one-on-one or small group conversations nearby. Peter Reynolds will provide the closing keynote, sharing his work as an author, animator and leader in student creativity.

About Peter....

Creativity champ, Peter H. Reynolds is a NY Times best-selling author/illustrator and founder of FableVision, an award-winning educational multi-media company co-located at the Boston Children’s Museum.

 

Published in over 20 languages, Peter's books The Dot, Ish, Rose's Garden, I'm Here, So Few of Me and The North Star inspire children and “grown up children” with his messages about authentic learning, creativity, bravery, empathy, and courageous self-expression.  Peter also illustrated the best selling Someday by Alison McGhee, Guyku by Bob Raczka, Plant a Kiss by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, and the Judy Moody series by Megan McDonald, which sold over 12 million copies worldwide.

 

Peter lives in Dedham, MA, where he founded The Blue Bunny,  a family-owned and operated children’s book, toy, creativity store.

 

Much of Peter's spare time is spent giving back to the community ~ revitalizing the businesses and landscape in his beloved Dedham Square, supporting schools, caring for homeless children, promoting literacy and learning, and inspiring all of us to use our gifts to make the journey a meaningful one.

 

To that end, Peter and his twin brother Paul, recently launched the Reynolds Center for Teaching, Learning, and Creativity (TLC). The center is a not-for-profit organization that encourages creativity and innovation in teaching and learning. It is dedicated to ensuring that all learners develop the vision, confidence, knowledge and skills needed to move their own lives forward, and to use their talents, strengths and energy to move their communities and the world to a better place.

 

“I am optimistic about a future where all children are encouraged to navigate their true potential. We have to be creative in the ways we reach all learners — to help them find their voice, be brave about expressing it, and be inspired to use their gifts to ‘make their mark.’”
