Presentations

In person or online, Julie is adept at providing stimulating and informative presentations, keynotes and webinars to educators and leaders anywhere, anytime. Each presentation is research-based and shares extensive experience with emerging technologies and collaborative learning. Above all, each presentation shares what educators and learners are currently doing to ‘flatten’ and globalise learning – tools, curriculum design, management strategies, leadership and more.

Julie is passionate about connecting and collaborating with the world for meaningful learning experiences infused with digital technologies. As a keynote speaker she can talk about paradigm shifts in teaching and learning, teacher social change impacted by new pedagogies and share relevant current classroom examples.
