About David Warlick

Keynote presenter David Warlick is a man with a vision of what 21st Century learning requires.

“Today, the world is a different place. Our sense of the future has changed, our students learn differently, and the very nature of information has changed. Technology has advanced at a rate that would have baffled us when I was growing up. This time of change forces us to
ask two fundamental questions. What do children need to be learning today?...and How do they need to be learning it?”
