A Struggle To Learn

Concurrent, Multihour

Good grades? Don’t ask me about them. As a visual learner in a time of very few visuals, I struggled all through school, trying my best to keep up with content that just wasn’t presented in a way that worked for me. It wasn’t until I got my first computer (ironically, at graduation) that I discovered I had always been a lifelong learner. I just needed the right tools.

Nearly 30 years into my EdTech career, I’ll share how someone who never enjoyed school ended up devoting her entire career to helping teachers keep their classrooms engaging, along with some of the success stories teachers have shared with me along the way.

Optional shorter description: Leslie Fisher shares how a struggling student who never enjoyed school found the right tools, and built a nearly 30-year career helping teachers reach every learner.
