We were thrilled to host Fraser Speirs at Macworld Mobile in Barcelona this past February.
Fraser brings that rare combination of technical acuity, immense passion, and perspective of the big picture that makes for magical presentations that resonate with audiences on several levels. His talk about his work and experiences with the 1:1 iPad deployment at Cedars School of Excellence was captivating and motivating to our audience of iOS developers.
His reputation for opening the eyes to the possibilities this technology offers to educators around the world is expanding. Unlike so many technologists who are raptured with technology for technology's sake, the most rewarding part about presenting him to our audience was his message on keeping focus on the important picture – educating children, and to always keep in mind that the technology, no matter how great or elegant, must always be subservient to that goal to be effective.
Genius, thoughtful and passionate – great presenter and great presentation.
