VSTE 18 Keynote with Sarah Thomas

January 11, 2019

At the 2018 Conference, VSTE was proud to welcome Sarah Thomas as our Keynote speaker. Sarah is a Regional Technology Coordinator in Prince George’s (Maryland) County Public Schools and a long-time VSTE member. She is the founder of the #EduMatch movement, a grassroots project that empowers educators to make global connections across common areas of interest.

Sarah regularly presents at events around the world and was a 2017 recipient of the ISTE Making IT Happen award. She is also is also a Google Certified Innovator, Google Education Trainer, and a national advisor for the Future Ready Instructional Coaches Strand.

In her keynote presentation, Sarah challenged us to look backwards as a way to look ahead.

The present is a gift, the past has passed, and the future is what is to come.  Let's time travel and reminisce on our first days of teaching.  What has changed?  What lessons might we learn from our past, and how might this inform our future?  Take a trip with Sarah Thomas on this magical journey that discusses the power of reflection and community, edtech trends over the years, and...fanny packs?

Sarah is active on Twitter as @sarahdateechur, and is the co-host of the Tweet & Talk podcast.
