 * I Book 6-14 Months Out **

<span class="style_1">I am available for keynote and featured speaking engagements but my schedule is painfully limited due to the fact that I am a full time middle school teacher-librarian & technology specialist and my school & my students will always come first. Therefore, booking me a year or more in advance is the best way to go - once I have an appearance for any given month - that's it. No mas. However, you can always check to see if I'm available if you have a date that's closer than the 6 months!

<span class="style_1">Priority will be given to those engagements that are only 2-3 days, span a weekend, during summer, or over a school break. I also try and make time for my Twitter & EdTech PLN, colleagues, and states or districts that need me. I have my cape at the ready! Please note, even though I have a rider for a pack of Regular, Tropical, or Wild Berry Skittles® I am NOT a Diva
