They Said it

It always feels a bit weird posting good stuff about yourself but to prove I have some credibility in what I say, read what others say about me …

Dean delivered the keynote address for the award winning Flat Classroom Project 2007 (http://flatclassroomproject.wikispaces.com). He did an exceptional job with the keynote video but also, interacted with the students involved and took the whole project to a higher level when he responded to the student inquiries about how to use green screen.

Dean did amazing, transformational work in a very short period of time and went far above and beyond our initial request. He is a very motivational speaker whether via video or in his writing. I highly recommend him as a person who will promote change and also has his finger on the pulse of transformational educational practice. I highly recommend Dean. Vicki Davis

I would like you to know that Dean Shareski is worth his weight in gold. I made it my personal PD goal this year to becaome more techno savy and really get my kids involved with learning using new methods. I have been pumped all year about the things I’m doing and what my kids are doing. The reason I am having so much fun and learning so much is in a word DEAN. He has been so helpful, patient and fun. I have told him this several times but I just wanted to make it public. Sophie Rosso in an email to my supervisor

We are very grateful for his support. He visits our classroom, talks to the students about their feelings and experiences with the hand-held computers, shares resources with Mr. Mc. and myself, deals with budget issues and meets with us regularly to discuss progress and build on the project. He is very willing to experiment and try new things, open to challenges and very knowledgeable about technology and education.Lucia Dalgarno

Dean Shareski (from Prarie South SD) came in yesterday to share information with us. I just wanted to point to his blog here. In my opinion, Dean is one of the best thinkers in the area of educational technology and learning in our province, if not the greater worldwide context. He often shares excellent ideas on his blog so I strongly suggest for you to take a look at it regularly, or even better, add it to your Bloglines account…Alec Couros

Dean is a terrific presenter, and he was able to approach the complex topic in a way that was appealing to the attendees, many who were teachers…Alec Couros

We’re very lucky to have Dean Shareski teach one of our sections this summer. He’s doing an excellent job and I can’t wait to borrow heavily from his approach (and content) Alec Couros

I’m listening and watching a VERY cool screencast presentation by Dean Shareski explaining Why You Need RSS. It’s sooo comprehensive if you’re shaky when explaining RSS…I certainly am. And now I know that I’m NOT USING RSS to the fullest.

But the screencast is awesome because it’s a podcast with some visuals to boot. I love this stuff!…Amy Bowllan

Great session, and really well done by Dean. There was a lot of buzz afterwards about how this could aid with the always present problem of sharing information in education…Rob Wall

Dean Shareski is fighting the good fight for the credibility of Wikis, and specifically Wikipedia in the latest edition of “Learning & Leading With Technology”. Read Dean’s elegant prose; watch as he wins a point-counterpoint argument with Carol Ann Winker — hands down in my opinion…Rick Schwier

…good thinking and good conversations always emerge from Dean’s blog….Anne Davis

I think that the example that Shareski used is right on target in illustrating the problem with the “Integrating Technology” story.…David Warlick

Dean Shareski, who is always a fount of new thoughts and ideas….Clarence Fisher

These (Dean and Darren Kuropatwa) Canadians are really on top of developments in our web 2.0 powered educational environment …Wes Fryer

I am so thrilled we are able to share, foster and permeate such great talent, and take advantage of the work of such a dedicated educator. This is what 21st century learning is all about! Kudos and thank you to Dean!…Julie Lindsay

Aesthetics is the focus of his “Design Matters” presentation, and if you only watch one K12 presentation, this is the one I’d recommend…Clay Burell
