Speaker Bio
Now an elementary teacher with HPEDSB, Gavin has worked in Ontario, Quebec and South America. He has taught elementary and secondary students in both public and private education systems. As an educator, his passion is the arts - particularly music and he believes that art is the doorway to the mind and the best way to engage and energize students. Computers have been a hobby of Gavin’s since the age of 6 - when he broke his family’s computer 3 times in 3 months. Tired of paying for repairs, Gavin’s parents encouraged him to learn, very quickly, how to fix whatever he broke. Thrilled to be both present and presenting at this GAFE summit, Gavin is excited to collaborate with fellow educators as, together, they find new uses for some of his favourite Google apps.
