During this crazy time, many teachers miss their students. They want to connect, but may not know how. In this session, Mike Yates will show educators how to use YouTube Live to connect with students. He'll also give you a rundown of how to do this WITHOUT filming boring classroom lectures!
Mike Yates is on a mission to transform the K-12 education experience. He has taught in public, private, and charter schools. Mike has also won teaching and coaching awards, but he still found himself unable to help kids the way they should be helped. He knew there had to be another way.
Today, Mike works tirelessly to disrupt and innovate school as a team leader at Alpha, an innovative, independent school that uses adaptive learning software in place of direct instruction. Every student at Alpha performs in the top 10% of students their age on the MAP assessment. 99% of our students report that they love coming to school. Every student learns life skills, technical skills and transferable skills. Alpha is changing the way kids do school. Mike co-founded Guide, a social e-learning app that teaches students life skills through micro-video content to provide access to innovative education options. Guide makes learning blended, on demand and relevant. It is changing the way students use education.
