Insights: Savilla Banister, USA

She is a professor of classroom Technologies and has done it for 12 years. Before that, she was a music teacher for K-12. Listing best achievements she is very proud of her family - children and grandchildren, in educational sense she also points out that she has published many research articles and now direct the Center of Excellence for 21st Century Educator Preparation.

Life motto: It's all about the learning!


Savilla is exited about working creative and motivated teachers. Also she is now involved with Digital Texts Learning Community, BYOD project with BGSU students and camera deployment in k-12 schools. But sometimes the technology also gives us challenges like how to use it in that way that everyone feels like they are involved and have an access. Her hope is that someday all people will have connection to internet and it gives better chance to them to be a part of the curriculum. Learning is changing and it is in this way to everybody, so the best is to learn it together. 

Past year learning achievements she talks about syncing all her information from all devices to the cloud...learned by experimentation... and all went OK!
So you can do it too!

  • she has a uplifting energy and she can keep up with everything
  • Whaaaat!
  • she is very professional and knows a lot about new technologies, at the same time she doesn't forget to have fun
