Johnny is an experienced trainer and educator with extensive experience in educational technology, professional development, and system design. He taught in Los Angeles Unified School District in grades 1-5 for five years as he earned his California Clear Teaching Credential through the District Intern Program. After seeing the potential impact of technology in education, he wanted to build a technology program from the ground up.

That opportunity came when he served as the Director of Technology at an independent K-8 school. During his 8 year tenure, he developed their technology curriculum, built their infrastructure to over 90 computers, taught technology classes, and trained teachers, parents, and students how to use 21^st century tools. In 2004, He co-founded a consulting business called 2it Education Solutions, LLC, which stands for Innovative Teaching using Interactive Technology and became a SMART Master Certified Trainer (Notebook v10, Win/Mac).

Recently, he has developed and launched an On Demand Video Training service featuring over 110 video based modules showing teachers how to integrate SMART Boards into their instruction. In late March, 2it launched the first SMART Board continuing education unit (CEU) courses that are completely online, feature over 5 hours of video-based instruction each, and offer 1 to 1 moderation- making it the easiest and fastest way to be a SMART Board power user.

Powerful Teacher Training Call – Register Now!

Join us on Thursday, May 20th at 1:00 pm CST (11:00 am PST, 12:00 MST, 2:00 EST) when we are joined by Dr. Yvonne Marie Andres to share how to

• Improve student academic performance through content driven collaboration
• Introduce students to collaboration skills they will be able to apply in the workforce
• Prepare youth to be socially responsible global citizens
• Develop valuable professional connections
• Make teaching and learning more enjoyable and relevant experiences

Bestseller Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything sends educators a critical message that individuals can no longer independently learn all they need to know. In a globally connected world, there is enormous value in using online tools and technology to collaboratively connect and learn with others. Join award-winning online learning pioneer, Dr. Yvonne Marie Andres, as she discusses successful integration of project-based, collaborative learning by showcasing the best content, tools and resources that support teachers and their students as they strive to master 21st century learning skills.  This teleseminar will help educational leaders understand that OCL has many benefits.  Youth need to learn collaborative, 21st century learning skills, through safe, structured, supervised, educational projects. Teachers need guidance in transitioning from traditional learning — to new learning tools and experiences (e.g. Flexbooks, blended learning environments, collaborative projects, co-created content, global exhibitions and competitions, virtual field trips). But, without some structure it can lead to chaos and frustration.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Yvonne Marie Andres is Global SchoolNet’s executive director, co-founder and visionary. A former classroom teacher and educator for two decades, Andres taught pre-school through university and is passionate about demonstrating the power of Internet-based collaborative learning.
