Presenters Resources
Presenters have been encouraged to place material they want to share with attendees in a shared Google folder. This makes it easy to find resources for sessions you attend (or sessions you were unable to attend.) Go to the Presenter Resources folder to find the presenters' folder organized by last name. If a presenter is presenting multiple sessions, inside their named folder is a folder for each of their sessions. You can also click the Presenters Resources button on the right side of the home page.

Trevor Muir - LOTL 18 Keynote
The Power of Story in the Classroom
We are excited to be able to have Trevor Muir, as the 2018 LOTL Conference keynote. Join Trevor as he shares how educators can shape their classrooms using the power of storytelling and brain science to achieve real student engagement, and in return, learning that is permanent and memorable. Any teacher, in any subject area, and in any grade level can use these practical and proven practices to transform their classrooms into settings where students are engaged, challenged, and transformed. Below is his keynote title and description.
The Power of Story in the Classroom
Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in the human arsenal. For most of human history, stories have been the primary means in which people have passed down knowledge, technology, culture, religion, and entertainment. Neurological research has even found that storytelling has permanent, lasting effects on the brain; more than any other form of communication. This power of story needs to be harnessed in the classroom.
