The live talks will be filmed in Paresky Hall the evening of August 5th. The event is open to the public. If you're attending the conference, and in particular if you envision yourself giving an Ed Talk in the future, please join the celebration. If you're unable to attend, be on the lookout for the published talks.
I was fortunate to attend last year's event. It was exciting to see each speaker take the stage and share their wisdom. You may access last year's wonderful talks via MTA's Ed Talks Playlist.
This year's Ed Talks panel includes the following educators:
- Camille Napier Bernstein, English teacher at Natick High school.
- Chris Bruno, a social studies teacher at Plymouth North High School.
- Becky Curran, an advocate for little people and all people with disabilities.
- Max Grinnell, a writer, traveler and Massachusetts College of Art and Design Professor.
- Laura Beals D'Elia, elementary school librarian in Burlington, MA.
- Max Grinnell, writer, traveler, and Mass College of Art and Design Professor
- Christine Lucey-Meagher, Worcester Public Schools High School Art Teacher, Illustrator.
- Deb Socia, Principal on Assignment at Boston Public Schools.
The Ed Talks are one example of how The Massachusetts Teachers Association has extended their reach to all current venues of communication and education. You may also find the MTA on their website, Facebook page, Twitter, and YouTube. With this outreach, MTA is leading all Massachusetts educators with 21st century design.
If you would still like to attend the MTA's summer conference, you may register until August 1. I welcome your questions, and hope to meet you at the conference.
