Alan November is recognized internationally as a leader in education technology. He began his career as an oceanography teacher at an island reform school for boys in Boston Harbor. He has been a director of an alternative high school, computer coordinator, technology consultant, and university lecturer.

His areas of expertise include information and communication technology, planning across the curriculum, professional learning, building learning communities and leadership development. Alan was named one of the nation’s fifteen most influential thinkers of the decade by Classroom Computer Learning Magazine. In 2001, he was named one of eight educators to provide leadership into the future by the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse.

If you're in Georgia, see if you can work it out! I've wanted to hear him speak for a long time, but haven't as of yet had the privalege. I'm maxed on my days out of school, so as of now, I don't think I'll be able to get up there. I'm going to try to get some of our teachers there. (We are 3 1/2 hours away so it takes some time to get there.
