Keynote Speaker

Chris Haskell, Boise State University

Serving as a Special Lecturer in the Department of Educational Technology at Boise State University, Chris is actively piloting and developing groundbreaking alternative approaches to delivering and tracking learning. With co-inventor Dr. Lisa Dawley, Chris created 3D GameLab, a game-based/quest-based learning management system. His classroom serves as a unique game-based technology and pedagogy lab where this new and innovative practice is producing exciting results.

At the university, Chris specializes in preparing pre-service teachers in methods and applications of technology integration in the classroom. In addition to instilling fundamental skills, Chris focuses on the use, adaptation, and implementation of emerging technologies in teacher education including gaming, mobile communication devices, portable media players, social networking tools, and virtual worlds.

In addition to teaching and research, he is a popular featured presenter at conferences throughout the US, sharing his knowledge and interest in online learning and education through social networks, virtual worlds, and gaming. Chris is currently completing his doctorate at Boise State University.
