Kevin Honeycutt, Technology Integration Trainer
Kevin grew up in poverty and moved around the country, staying a step ahead of the ramifications of his father's behavior. As he witnessed education around the country he collected powerful experiences that still influence his conversations and his work with educators. He spent 13 years teaching art K-12 and for the past three years Kevin has hosted a creative learning site called ArtSnacks (http://artsnacks.org) where he shares 130+ ten minute drawing videos that support standards curriculum. This social “learning” network is his Petri-dish for learning to mentor teachers and students in virtual environments and to help kids learn “netiquette”.
Kevin is currently serving his eighth year as a Technology Integration Specialist at ESSDACK, an educational service center based in Hutchinson, Kansas. At ESSDACK he researches and develops programs with a strong passion to make teachers and learners comfortable with technology. He is a school board member in the town of Inman, Kansas. Currently in his second term, he feels that one of his most important roles is to help vision what the future holds for learners and to help move his district in right, new directions. During his classroom tenure, he developed project-based approaches to learning that infused technology and problem solving skills. He created a film program for kids and developed it into a fully functioning curriculum at the high school level.
He has developed; online safety, anti-bullying and cyber-bullying curriculum which he shares with parents, teachers and students around the country and also certifies instructors in his curriculum. He continues to work with schools to develop innovative, engaging curriculum to better prepare learners for the world they will face when they graduate. Kevin is passionate about meeting the needs of at-risk learners and works with kids in juvenile detention, developing approaches to re-engage the "lost" learner. He travels the country speaking at conferences and working with educators at the grassroots level and likes to promote a "tradigital" approach to education.
He like to bring his personal life experience and a sense of humor to the mission of helping prepare 21st century learners! Watch the YouTube video of Kevin being interviewed by Kelly Dumont, UCET past president...
UCET Digital Jam with Kevin Honeycutt
We are going to try something new and different this year--a digital jam. If you would like to join us and be a part of it, that would be great. What is a digital jam? Kevin Honeycutt often gathers informally after conferences to meet with musically-minded folks to have shared musical experiences. We will meet in the Centennial Room at the Hilton Garden Inn on Friday, March 4th from 8:00-10:00 pm (maybe later) to have a digital jam.
The conditions will be favorable for musicians as well as those with no musical talent who just want to learn about digital musical apps. You may bring an instrument such as a guitar, tambourine, maracas, drums, or digital instruments on your mobile device(s). We will have an amp, wires, a projector, some karaoke, and who knows what else.
We invite you to join us in this shared experience. If you want to try something new, please join us by first signing up online! Space is limited.
