Brian Buffington was our keynote speaker for our fall retreat for faculty and staff in our college of education. My goal was to have a speaker who was engaging and could create a sense of excitement about the start of a new academic year, and Mr. Buffington did not disappoint! His focus on “things that can’t be googled,” along with an emphasis on re-imagining or re-envisioning AI, helped faculty to think about their classroom approaches in new ways. After teaching for many years, we sometimes need a boost in terms of creative approaches to the college classroom. Additionally, we need to complicate the discussion surrounding the use of AI in the college classroom, and Mr. Buffington assisted us in navigating those conversations in new ways. Not only that, but he also left us with one of his trademark songs, accompanied by one of our faculty, in a fantastic performance that we will never forget! I couldn’t have imagined a better way to start the year.

I was fortunate to connect with Buff for the first time at the AESA conference in Atlanta last year.  After his presentation, I was inspired to bring him in for our cooperative’s retreat to share great ideas from his training and to begin to personalize our work within our 30 school districts.  It was AMAZING! The best possible addition to our retreat.  We have been Buff’n Stuff ever since and our districts are loving it!  We can’t wait to bring him back again to work with our local special education directors so they too can capitalize on the nuggets he shares to make their jobs connect and personalized with their teachers!

Brian Buffington delivers the information you need in an interesting and engaging way.  Learning about some techy issues is sometimes overwhelming, but here at Emmanuel University, we have gained valuable knowledge and confidence concerning the new technology issues looming.  We thoroughly enjoyed learning about new technologies and how they will affect our work.

This was our second year bringing in Brian to work with our teachers as a kick off to our school year. Brian does an extraordinary job of connecting with our staff and educating them on a myriad of topics related to technology and real life. Our staff truly loves engaging and learning from Brian during our school inservice.  I would recommend Brian to any school.

Brian not only brought #BuffNuggets to Tattnall County Schools, he also brought energy, inspiration and a love of education.  From his experiences, he shared the impact educators have on students and reminded us all that we are in this profession to do what is best for children.
