With over 20 years in education across K-12 classrooms, district-level technology integration, and higher education, I've dedicated my career to one idea: technology works best when it disappears into great teaching. I'm a Google Certified Trainer, Magic School AI Certified Trainer, and lifelong learner who believes that when educators feel confident with technology, students thrive.
In Their Own Words
I really appreciated how you engaged each learner in a positive, reflective, and respectful manner. I also really appreciated how you did a great job of providing specific assignment feedback.
This was one of my favorite courses and something I can really use in my teaching.
I honestly felt that all of the activities were beneficial to my practice as well as interesting.
You are one of the only professors that provided quality feedback on our assignments. I am usually counting down the number of sessions left in a class, but I would like to take you with me to the next one.
You gave me many ideas and ways to add to my everyday teaching life.
Your teaching was great. You're very approachable.
I appreciated the way the presenter greeted me and everyone. I felt relaxed and comfortable to ask questions.
Good mix of presentation and hands-on time. A chance for us to give responses and practice. I appreciated that each person was welcomed by name.
Ben was realistic, helpful, and engaging.
This was the best training of the day and so relevant to what we are doing in the classroom. Thank you.
Ben is an awesome presenter. Great combination of interactive and direct instruction. Very knowledgeable and thoughtful with his presentation. Learned a lot!
