Leading Students in a Hyperconnected World
From phones to tablets to televisions today’s students are more connected to the world than ever before. With a few keystrokes and a click students can discover new information and challenge more old information. What does this mean for our roles as teachers? And how do we lead students to become conscientious consumers and producers of information? In this keynote Richard Byrne will offer some answers to those questions and challenge you to find new ways of leading students in a hyperconnected world. |

Jacqueline Davies, author of the popular Lemonade War series of books and many others, will illuminate the Author’s endless attempts to “reach” the reader—and the sometimes startling results when the reader “reaches” back. |
