Adam Garry, Dell's Manager of Global Education Strategy will deliver the Keynote Address, The Possibilities of Personalized Learning, at the MEEC Member Conference and Vendor Showcase.
Adam will share a vision for personalizing student learning by describing what makes school powerful—as well as distracting, inefficient, and frustrating—for them. His case studies will provide a final vetting of emerging implementation plans and remind educators that the solitary outcome of personalized learning is to profoundly impact kids. Adam offers a clear, student-centered definition of personalized learning.
