Connecting the Dots
Thank You for Attending
On October 16, 2019, the Technology and Learning team invited faculty to collaborate with their peers at Pepperdine's biennial TechLearn Conference. The theme of this year's conference was "Connecting the Dots!" This one day conference kicked off with an exciting experiential learning activity led by the Genesis Lab, prior to hearing from this year's keynote speaker, "The Tech Rabbi," Michael Cohen.
Keynote Speaker
Michael Cohen, The Tech Rabbi, is a designer, educator, and creativity instigator. His mission is to help educators around the world reveal their own creative abilities so they can empower students to solve interesting problems and become positive contributors to our global society. He is the author of the book Educated By Design, which outlines his principles for revealing and nurturing our innate creative courage and capacity. He is a national keynote speaker, advisor, and trainer. When he isn't traveling the world sharing his message, he serves as the director of innovation for Yeshiva University of Los Angeles Boys School (YULA) and is the founder of the Schlesinger STEAM and Entrepreneurship Center.
