Each program focuses on the school leadership team responsible for driving change. About our Guests Josh Sawyer – Senior Manager of US Education Josh is a globally recognized industry leader and subject matter expert known for Education transformation and inspiring cultures of innovation at scale. Rooted in his personal philosophy ‘seeking to live with grit and innovation; dream boldly, think deeply, and execute swiftly!'; Josh currently leads Microsoft's US Educator and School Leader Transformation strategy focusing on Professional Learning and the Microsoft Schools Program. Prior to joining Microsoft, Josh led a pivotal innovation team driving instructional technology across one of the largest school districts in the US, as well as served as a global Educational consultant, master trainer, speaker, and content developer for various programs and affiliates worldwide. Scott Bricker A passionate leader, committed to maintaining focus on his pursuit of lifelong learning, Scott Bricker has found tremendous joy and success during his nearly 20-year career as a teacher, basketball coach, instructional coach and many other roles around a high school campus. Built on the solid premise of creating human connection through “Building Your Relationship Infrastructure,” his deeply-rooted belief in the power and potential of working together as a team drives him to create a cohesive working environment for his Math students, for faculty during PD & Training sessions and in collaborating with great educators and people from around the globe. Inspired by the humor, creativity and drive of two of his high school teachers, Scott dove head first into Education following his time at the University of Arizona and never looked back. He has taught both English and Math and absolutely thrives off the energy of being around high school students and teachers, working to inspire them think outside the box in all they think, say and do. In the spring of 2013, Scott was named Director of Educational Technology at Santa Margarita Catholic High School and asked to lead the full implementation of the school’s One-to-One Tablet PC Program. After distributing devices to only the faculty during the 13-14 school year, SMCHS distributed devices to all 1725 students during the summer of 2014 and, following the success of their rollout and implementation of Office365, OneNote and other Microsoft tools, SMCHS was named a Microsoft Showcase School in the fall of 2014 and proudly maintains their status currently. Scott is also a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert and is consistently inspired by the many educators he meets through that group. Given the current landscape of Educational Technology, Scott is a firm believer that those who take on the challenge of injecting appropriate technology into their classroom will look back on this time as one that truly redefined learning and teaching in an incredibly impactful way. @BrickerCoaching or through my website: www.scottbrickercoaching.com .

Tammy believes the most important 21st Century tool in any classroom is the attitude of the teacher. “Teachers need to be comfortable tackling the challenges of using technology in front of their students and modeling how to overcome obstacles,” says Tammy. Tammy agrees with Bill Goodwyn, CEO of Discovery Education: “The motherboard and the memory chip will never replace the passion and inspiration of a real-life teacher. Technology doesn’t teach. Teachers teach.” Paul Watkins Paul Watkins is a teacher at Microsoft Showcase School Ysgol Bae Baglan (pronounced Us-gol Bi Bag-lan) in Port Talbot, Wales. An IT/Computing teacher of 12 years, Paul is currently the acting leader of digital learning where he focuses on staff development, innovative teaching, and digital competency. He is a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert, MIE Master Trainer, Microsoft Certified Educator and a Skype Master Teacher. Paul also sits on the Welsh Government’s National Digital Learning Council Twitter: @Lanny_Watkins Starting 8 am on November 28 th through till 8 pm on 29 th staff and pupils will be taking part in a sponsored event that will see the teachers completing a total of 36hours and pupils (from a class aged 10 to 11 years old) 24hours of skyping around the world. Pupils will sleep in the school whilst the teachers continue to skype through the night. During this time(when the pupils are sleeping) the teachers will offer three different connections: 1. Mystery Skype 2: Skype Kahoot 3: Getting started with Skype In The Classroom Training. The aim is to complete at least one call every hour for the duration of the challenge. We are so thankful to have the support of one of Europe’s top rugby teams – Ospreys, who will be joining us for both days with a different quad member attending each to play some mystery skype. As well as the Ospreys we have been thrilled with the support from some of the UK's top professional soccer teams, with one, Everton, skyping the pupils from the stadium during a Premier League match. All money raised will go towards the purchase of equipment for a school for refugee children in Kenya, Africa who depend upon Skype to enhance the education they receive.
