One Of My Favourite Quotes

Posted by:

 

You could be standing in the midst of greatness…

One of my favourite quotes is:

Individuals from this generation will surface as leaders in every field.  During this lifetime the future will be shaped by someone – no one knows who it is going to be – so you may as well throw your hat in the ring and say “it may as well be me!”

Right now in one of your classes might be the person that finds the cure for cancer, discovers life on another planet, brings world leaders together to solve a crisis.

Maybe it’s not as dramatic as that.

Infographic: The Rapid Growth of Google Apps For Education

Posted by:

For those of you who like infographics, here is an interesting infographic showing the rapid growth of Google Apps for Education:

The infographic was created a few months ago.  Since then, the Malaysian Government have signed up every school student and teacher to Google Apps, as have many other school districts.

If you would like to see how your school can easily ‘go Google’ just let us know by sending us a message.  We have a simple document that shows you step by step how to sign up for a free Google Apps For Education account.

At the bottom of this infographic I share a resource that allows you or your students to easily create your own infographics.

What our clients say about us

Thank you Mike! I really found the 4 week course on ‘How to Motivate, Manage & Engage Your Students’ really interesting and great food for thought on how to improve my class routines and student engagement. I look forward to the next sessions with the technology course.

Kiki TsoliBankstown Senior College

Just replayed last week’s session and enjoyed it just as much second time around. This is a great facility!

Where was this kind of training when I did my Bachelor of teaching???

I just wanted to say an extra big thank you for providing such a great service. Online, at night and in the comfort of home – with my two young children asleep in the other room – pretty awesome actually. It was very engaging and entertaining.

Leda McFadzean

OMG!!! What a change! This class has a lot of students in it, and I find the room very small for all the different personalities. But after I set the picture, the students were working with me instead of against me.

I have been teaching for four years, and this was the best Professional Development course I have completed…even the students said to me “you should do these things more often.

Ailie GrangerGriffith High School

Mike, awesome course, fantastic resources and a real wake-up for someone who considers himself technically astute but not necessarily updated!

Today was amazing. By far the best PD I have done in my 5 years of Teaching.
