Keynotes

Looking for an authentic educator who can help inspire teachers to thoughtfully integrate technology and project-based-learning in the classroom? Kevin Brookhouser is your guy. He has delivered successful keynotes to tens of thousands of teachers around the world. Because of his extensive career in the classroom and as a TEDxMonterey speaker, Kevin can connect with educators and offer on-the-ground experience with practical takeaways for any education-focused audience. 

The 20time Project

To help inspire innovation and creativity, Google offers employees 20% of their time to work on a meaningful project of their choosing. Teachers who offer the same to their students can meet learning goals while creating powerful experiences that lead to increased motivation, creativity, and divergent critical thinking. This presentation will outline how any teacher of any subject at any grade level can transform a classroom into an incubator of innovation. Participants will learn how to effectively communicate the rationale of such a program to administrators, parents, and student, and how to execute the program so students are able to manage their time effectively for a successful final project. Educators will leave inspired and empowered to prepare students for an uncertain and exciting future. 

Code in Every Class

It’s an accepted fact that all students need exposure to certain academic disciplines—algebra, world history, chemistry, and probably a Shakespeare play or two. Unfortunately, computer science has not yet risen to must-have status despite society’s reliance on technology in almost every aspect of modern life. Kevin shows teachers how to take matters in their own hands and incorporate programming in what they already teach. Best of all, anyone can do it! In this session, all participants will learn fundamentals of computer programming and walk away having created their own program. We’ll start with writing commands using block coding technology and writing simple programs using CoffeeScript. Teachers will then learn how to make simple and fun branching logic narratives, games, and apps using Google Slides. We’ll then discuss a variety of ways teachers across subject areas can integrate coding into their classrooms starting on Monday.

Creative Grit

Creativity is the single most sought after attribute in the 21st century, and yet very few of our students see themselves as creative beings after leaving our schools. How can we change that? First, we need to understand that living a creative life comes with equal parts joy and fear. In this keynote, we’ll explore ways we can infuse the classroom with a culture that nurtures courageous creative work in all of its messiness. 

Epic Fail: Nurturing Future-Ready Minds in the Age of Control-Z

How do we create a classroom culture that meets high standards and yet allows students to experiment and learn through errors? Reflecting on his years in the classroom, Kevin Brookhouser will explore how technology enables massive learning wins through epic fails. What does it take to get a job at Google? Contrary to popular belief, the most sought after employer is not looking for the uber-successful individuals alone at the top of the class. In fact, they want people who know what it’s like to learn and thrive through setbacks. Software developers, game designers, and, yes, Google recognize the best way to teach something new is by letting users make mistakes. Learn how to cultivate an “undo” mindset that grows future ready learners.
