DR. JAMES R. BEEGHLEY
My name is James Beeghley, and I am an educational technologist, a blogger, education consultant and keynote speaker. I specialize in integrating technology into the social studies with a particular interest in the American Civil War.
I’m passionate about helping educators think differently about what teaching and learning can be in today’s classrooms. I enjoy nothing better than working with teachers and students and showing them ideas that allow them to get excited about learning and doing things they never thought was possible.
Keynotes and Workshops
Our goal is to provide dynamic, high-quality professional learning opportunities for teachers, administrators, parents, students, and communities. From keynote presentations to individual coaching sessions, we will work with you to create a customized professional development session on anything from teaching the Civil War to digital citizenship.
