Dr. Fishburn's Conference/Workshop Presentations, Qualifications, and Recommended Readings

I like to take risks, share, and learn with others. Hence, my educational endeavors, job experiences, and risk taking have allowed me to showcase my knowledge and understandings to others both here in Delaware and across the country. As an associate principal, technology integration specialist, mobile device expert, and Nationally Certified Levels of Technology Implementation (LoTi) Trainer, I have had the pleasure to help others hone their skills as more able educators. Essentially, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience through the educational programs I enrolled in, which, in turn have led to opportunities to share with other educators across the country. Below you will find links and information in reference to my conference presentations, qualifications and readings that have shaped my current thinking. Please enjoy exploring these resources and if you have questions, comments, or insight please let me know, Todd A. Fishburn, Ed.
