Physical Education - Life Skills - STEAM Teacher - #PubPDasia founder - Presenter - Google Certified Innovator & Trainer

I'm a passionate Physical Education teacher who understands that just as our students learn new things every day, so do we. Nothing stops me from learning things that are outside of what I teach things. This I believe is a trait that all educators should have. I strive daily to take risks and know that failure is the first step in succeeding. I consider myself a physical education teacher with a love for innovation and am constantly seeking to empower my students with tools that will enhance their learning. Being able to share these tools and practices with other educators is a passion of mine. I've presented at conferences around the world including 21st Century Learning, APPEC, PHASE, ACAMIS Leadership, Learning2, EdTechTeam Summits, Google Innovator SWE17 Coach, ChargedUP Education, Physedagogy and more . I'm also a Google Certified Innovator, Google Certified Trainer and MIE

Passion 2.0: How I created a Dance Crew with my students not knowing it was me.

After realizing some of my students seemed quite keen to break dance, I decided to do the right thing. Disguise myself as a highschool dancer seeking to start a revolution and recruited them. They soon became friends and began to do the challenges that I was sending them. Through their gamified experience the managed to perform flashmob, teach dancing and even school assemblies. This workshop will narrate the story of how it happened and will take you through the different ways you can start passion programs in your own schools. We'll also take a look at thepassionincubator.com, a website for ideas and brainstorming. Like I always say. "You don't have to be an expert, you only have to have a passion for passions."

Sparking Change - The Contemporary Educator

The modern day educator has evolved and become a multitalented collaborator. This presentation shows good examples of best practices going on around the world that can help others see how far you can really go as an educator, if you just get out of your comfort zone. Roni Habib once said. "The deepest level of understanding does not come from technology but through relationships." These words are incredibly true and we as educators should be working hard to create these not only with other educators but with our students.The presentation also runs through a protocol that enable them to put those collaborations into practice. Length: 30 minutes

Gamification in Physical Education - Doable

Gamification is the use of game design and mechanics to enhance non-game contexts by increasing participation, engagement, loyalty and competition. These methods can include points, leaderboards, direct competitions and stickers or badges, and can be found in industries as varied as personal healthcare, retail—and, of course, education.

But how might we do this when we have limited time in our classes and wanna maximise movement during these periods? Join me as we investigate platforms that spark intrinsic motivation in Physical Education as we separate carrot dangling from real, valuable, meaningful gamified learning. Slide Deck Here

My Journey Into Leadership

How does Google define leadership? Well, some years back Google decided to to really get to the bottom of what are the components and norms of a perfect team. Is it the people involved?

After Project Aristotle and Project Oxygen results, Google hasn't looked back.
