Rushton Hurley is a Director of Design-Led Innovation at Junipero Serra High School, San Mateo, California. He possess expertise in educational technology, teacher training, public speaking, staff development, instructional design and 36 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "As what I consider to be an inspirational speaker on topics of educational interest, Rushton is able to convey messages of great importance in a very accessible way. He reaches out to the audience members and involves them in his message at the same time as he is somehow able to gauge where they are, what they need to hear, and how they need to hear it. This fluid approach is very effective and only adds to his presence." and "I met Rushton at the 2012 South African Google Summit. He is a charismatic and inspirational man and nothing less than an expert and visionary in his field. We had the pleasure of having Rushton visit us again in August 2014 where he spoke to our learners and teachers about Creativity and Innovation in teaching and learning. Rushton has an incredible ability to relate to, inspire and give direction to any child, teacher, leader or audience no matter their age or background. Several teacher comments below: "I enjoyed the emphasis that technology can serve as a useful tool, rather than an end in itself, and thoroughly enjoyed the presenter, his humour and his style." "I appreciated Rushton's pragmatic approach to education as a whole and to the inclusion of technology in education specifically. Both useful and inspiring." "It was such exciting, informative, useful and inspiring training." "Rushtons attitude towards teacher practice, young minds and education as a whole was very inspiring." "I enjoyed Rushton's ability to bring together technology, pedagogy and practical management. I particularly appreciated his emphasis on revision, feedback, revision - how can I make it better?" "I do believe that the learners, just like me, listened to Mr. Hurley and that they are even more positive about their learning than they have ever been before. " Please find one of our childrens comments below: "Ma'am he is a much better teacher than you!" :) I highly recommend any institution/school looking to change the way they teach and learn with the integration of educational technology, whether just thinking about it, only having just started it or far into the implementation of it, to work with him. You will not regret it. "
