George Couros – The Principal of Change
George Couros – Parkland School Division, Canada
We’re very excited to have international speaker, George Couros joining us from Canada as our opening keynote.
George will be presenting “Learning and Leading in a Digital Age” based upon his own experience of what it means to be a connected educator and the importance of using social media to help enhance the learning opportunities for ourselves, as well as our students.
Doing this together is an amazing opportunity because it helps to create true “learning organizations”.
