Patrick gives speeches, conducts workshops, and can run professional development. He comes highly recommended.
Patrick Fogarty is a speaker, author, educator, and administrator who has worked with high schools, colleges, yeshivas, and grammar schools across the country. As the former Instructional Technology leader of the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens, one of the largest private school districts in the United States, and the Faculty Advisor of Instructional Technology at New York City's first iPad 1:1 school, he is uniquely qualified to provide insight on the many ways in which technology is redefining education.
In 2013, Fogarty released Going One-to-One: iPads and Mobile Devices in Education, the first book to offer a comprehensive overview of 1:1 deployments for administrators, educators, and IT specialists. That book is now being used at San Diego University (among others) as part of its teacher education program. His experiences as an Apple Distinguished Educator and Google Certified Teacher inform his work.
The success of the book was driven in large part by frequent speeches and presentations. Fogarty served as the sole keynote speaker at TNTc in Texas in 2015, which featured nearly a thousand attendees from across one of the biggest cities in America. After speaking at FETC in early 2013, he was invited back as a presenter at FETC Virtual in October, then again to be a featured speaker at the 2014 iteration. Additionally, he has presented at some of the United States' biggest education conferences over the last two years, including SXSW Edu, the 2013 Apple Distinguished Educator Institute, and prominent local events like Tech & Learning's Tech Forum NY, CUNY's IT Conference, and Suffolk County's ASSET Conference.
After serving as ed tech start-up eSpark Learning's Implementation Team Lead, he has spent the last two years building out a new 1:1 program as Director of Technology at Valley Stream UFSD 30, a diverse Nassau County school district.
A feature-length session that delves into the research behind urban and rural 1:1 deployments, in particular the effect ubiquitous computing has on traditionally disadvantaged student populations.
A keynote speech on the three central tenets of 21st century learning: access to technology, engaging learning environments and activities, and anticipating the skills our students will need to succeed when they graduate. Appropriate for schools/institutions exploring STEM/STEAM programs, 1:1 computing, ubiquitous technology, or any major technological paradigm shift.
A presentation on the transformative effect iTunes U has had on thousands of students from around the world, as told through the prism of one Introduction to Film class whose members now exceed 50,000. This speech explores the global nature of 21st century education, the value of extra-cultural exploration, and the symmetry among learners from around the globe.
Inspired by my speech at CUNY's prestigious IT Conference, this presentation details the process of launching college 1:1 deployments, including extensive supporting research, a discussion of faculty buy-in, and information on how 1:1 programs contribute to better student outcomes.
