When presenting info to kids, we all know the difficulty can often be getting past that initial barrier of distraction, hesitation & boredom- and somehow engaging their minds & attention to the subject matter. My brother Kevin has always had that ability by nature, but in his work he incorporates the latest information about technology in education- stresses safety, but without using the "doom & gloom" approach. Not just children- but fellow teachers & parents as well- leave his presentation feeling empowered & informed- not brow-beaten & anxious. For every "problem" he brings up, he gives suggestions on how to address it- and more importantly, provides the listener with information & suggestions on how THEY can form their OWN conclusions & find solutions that work for them =) Kevin spends nearly every waking moment traveling all over the country tohelp educate kids, parents & teachers about using technology in schools & other important topics. Each & every time- you could swear it was the "first time" he'd ever given one of those presentations. Not just because each audience is different- but because he makes a huge effort to refresh his data & content every time- and to deliver it with genuine excitement & conviction. In more than 10 yrs I've yet to see a single audience member walk away from one of his discussions without noting his true genuine concern & passion for education- regardless of the topic.
