Dr. Tim Tyson - Keynote for the UCET 2009 Conference!

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Tim Tyson will deliver the keynote address at UCET 2009! Here's a little information about Dr. Tyson from the Mabry website:

Link: http://mabryonline.org/Dr. Tim Tyson

Dr. Tim Tyson is the Principal of Mabry Middle School. He earned his doctorate at the University of Illinois and has been in the field of education for over 25 years. A technology enthusiast, Dr. Tyson began the Mabry Film Festival, when he arrived at Mabry in 2001, as a way to help teachers and students infuse technology into highly engaging learning practices for students.

When he is not traveling, reading, dabbling with photography, digital video, or on the computer, he enjoys arranging and composing music. In fact, most people don't know that he is a published composer. He values creating more beauty in our world in all of the many different forms it can take.

He believes that the most beautiful thing in the world, which is closest to his heart, is helping children reach their highest potential. He challenges students to work hard and do their very best, to strive, to learn and to achieve, to create knowledge and solutions, and to rigorously pursue goals with the utmost integrity so that our world will be a better place for everyone.
