A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

It's an exciting time! Although the face of education has seen many recent challenges in our modern classroom, technology, and connectivity with the infusion of multimedia has opened exciting new doorways to how teachers teach and how students learn. Creativity in education is at an all-time high, and that creates an open-door opportunity for innovation in your ELA or Social Studies classroom, too!

Before I discovered my passion for teaching, I spent several years working in the film industry which then branched into commercial video, and brand management with my independent business. Taking what I learned from private industry and applying it to my in-the-classroom experience in public education gives me a unique perspective to share what I've learned with teachers and students. In this one-day seminar designed just for grades 6-12 ELA and Social Studies teachers, I will share not only innovative and creative ways to work with multimedia, but highly practical, functional, and transferable skills that impact your teaching and learning experience. The best part about it all? It's now, it's new, it's popular, it's relevant – and it's fun!

Our students know that multimedia has a new connotation that has broken bounds into video and streaming media, podcasts, interactive presentations and so much more. If we want to connect with our students on the platforms that truly meet them where they love to be, this is it! It's something that can make its way into virtually any classroom with the right know-how, digital tools, and creative effort. You will leave this highly innovative, one-day seminar equipped with dozens of multimedia tips, tricks, techniques that will leave you inspired, energized and ready to try!

Sincerely,
Tommy Whalen

P.S. You will leave this innovative one-day seminar with dozens of multi-media and digital tools and strategies you can use to enhance your ELA and Social Studies classroom experience immediately!
