Permission

• May you use this presentation (in its entirety) to share with other teachers in an effort to get them to become better teachers? Absolutely, please do.
• May you use the video of the presentation, mix it up, and/or remix it with other content? Sure, as long as you remember to give credit when credit is due.
• May you use the video and audio, mix it up, and/or remix it with other content? You'd better ask Carly first. She created the music and has only given us permission to use it for this presentation.

• Several people have contacted me about creating a translation - to which I must say: Please do! You may download the updated Pay Attention work files here (zipped, 166MB). The slides were created in PowerPoint (Optima font). Screenshots of the slides were then imported into iMovie to produce the resulting video. Best of luck. Please let me know of any translations or remixes that you make.

About This Presentation

• This presentation, simply entitled Pay Attention, was created by Darren Draper in an effort to motivate teachers to more effectively use technology in their teaching. Since most of today's students can appropriately be labeled as "Digital Learners", why do so many teachers refuse to enter the digital age with their teaching practices?
• You comments and constructive feedback are greatly appreciated.
