A Struggle to Learning
Good grades? Don’t ask Leslie Fisher about them. As a visual learner in a time of little visuals, Leslie struggled throughout her formal education trying her best to keep up and understand the content being presented. It was not until she got her first computer (ironically at graduation) that she learned she had always been a lifelong learner requiring the proper tools. With an impressive 20- year professional Educational Technology Presenting career, Leslie will share how someone who never enjoyed school has focused her entire professional career on helping teachers keep their classrooms engaging. She will also share some of success stories teachers have shared with her along the way.

Turning School Into a Quest
This year, I endeavored to transform my classroom into a self-paced, quest-based learning system. The results: I spend more 1:1 time with students, less time in front of the room, and less time "catching students up" from absences. This is all because of student choice and self- pacing, project-based learning embedded in each quest, and the opportunity to redo quest-stops until they attain mastery. Join me as I share my journey from planning to final evaluation. I'll also share the variety of platforms and tools you can use to adapt this to your own classroom.

Participants in this presentation will join a Google Classroom, EdPuzzle, a few online practices, and Formative as my students. Topics addressed will be autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Immediate feedback to assess the needs of individual learners will be modeled throughout the presentation. The lesson I will use to model this blended learning environment will be Pronoun/Antecedent Agreement. My hope is that the audience will be a mix of kindergarten teachers on up to high school English teachers, as it will resemble a genuine classroom of students with a variety of backgrounds and abilities.
