These are example talks for Jay Gross
In a world of test scores, content standards & benchmarks, and evaluation fears, sometimes the main purpose can be pushed aside, even forgotten. That is the kids. Plain and simple they are the heart of what we do. Let me be the reminder...
It is okay to feel burned out at times. It is not okay to accept it. What we deal with on a daily basis in this world of education is sometimes unimaginable. And it can tear us down and make us wonder, “Why do I do this?”. This session will help identify some of the problems and how to find an “oasis or two in this desert of chaos”.
So many excuses out there today creating more and more failures. Young people today must understand it is okay to fail but to "fail-forward"! Jay tells stories of his students' failures and how they fought through them to attack life their way!
This session will be centering on finding the very best tech/methods/apps available today to create the best environment possible. It has been developed with student, parent, and teacher input. It will also include different aspects of cloud-based tools to create a student-centered learning environment with the teacher acting as a guide. Stop by and see ways to work smarter, not harder!
Our youth today are growing up in a world of instant access... Sometimes positive and sometimes negative. They are leaving a digital legacy that will follow them through life. Listen and learn along with Jay as he explains the highs and lows of all aspects of our digital world and how he has found a way to lead by example and thought. This session will cover everything from FaceBook and Twitter to dangerous apps and how they can be used to harm our kids.
Our students deserve the best! Showcasing their four years of high school (or any level) and knowing how to promote themselves in today’s job market or to get the best scholarships is crucial. How about just learning to organize and present themselves in the best, most positive way? Our online Portfolios and their structure are proven winners. Let me help you help them!
Is Facebook a waste of time? Twitter is too confusing? Texting my students is out of the question? Give me a chance and an open mind and I bet I can make you think twice about those negative thoughts! Fear is NOT the way to live. So much can be accomplished through Facebook, Twitter, and Texting. How can you make a positive impact on students’ lives (and even parents for that matter!) through a positive, mature use of technology? It’s easy! Let’s make it work for you!
