Colleagues describe him as "I had the opportunity to meet Michael when he worked with my school district to facilitate our venture into a 1:1 educational technology initiative with 2500+ students. His leadership allowed our district team to understand the pedagogy behind digital learning skills, as well as the true "why" when it comes to technology in the classroom. I have seen him present many times, and lead groups in a thoughtful & meaningful way, always listening with an empathetic ear, while simultaneously guiding the conversation towards goal setting and action based planning. Michael also delivered a keynote to our staff of over 350 educators, including an engagement and flair that got them excited & prepared to use technology in the classroom. Finally, he was able to bring an entire team of us to Google Chicago to kick off an educational jumpstart across our organization.
Throughout the time I have known him, he has always been extremely knowledgeable and generous with his expertise and time. You can tell that he cares for others and the path that they will forge, offering his support all along the way. Anyone would be lucky to have Michael on their team!" and "Mike was the keynote speaker at our opening day technology kick off. He not only held the audience's attention but was also informative about why we need to make sure we're teaching with technology as a tool. Teachers reported seeing technology as a thing to use for learning, not just an end point. We were thankful for his work as he set the right tone for all of us for that day--"We don't want to have kids turn off their world to be a part of ours. We need to merge these two worlds." Thanks, Mike!"
