Greg Milo

I get geeked out by organizing learning experiences for people of all ages. I design community discussions that bring people of difference backgrounds together, I teach a lot of international politic-type stuff, I build new high school courses and curriculums, I take students overseas, I write books and articles, I hold professional development workshops and presentations for other teachers, I swim each morning, I strum a few tunes, and I cook a mean vegan dinner. Bottom line, I'm just a teacher.

My Pecha Kucha talk, 2017

My talk titled 1980 explains a turbulent and influential year through the eyes of a seven-year old.
