BIO:
David Obianyor is a technology integrational specialist, and a one of a kind Nigerian educator who, has set out on a mission to give the teaching profession in this part of the country a face-lift by being a game-changer and breaking from the status quo. This has made me engage in various activities locally and internationally. In recognition for his contribution in the education sector, he has earned numerous individual awards and some include Teacher of the Year, Model Primary Teacher of the Year, recognition for ‘The Most Innovative Use of Technology in Teaching and Learning’ by Microsoft Nigeria, Corona Schools I.T Proficient Teacher of the Year and the CEO’S Award of the Year Corona Schools 2017 in recognition for outstanding achievement in and outside the classroom. He was named among the Top 5 educators in Nigeria in the Meadow Hall Foundation’s Inspirational Educators Award in Nigeria (INSEA) 2016 and Arclights Foundation's Teacher of the Year in Nigeria 2018. He was recently recognized as a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert (2019-2020) because of the pivotal role that he and his colleagues played in getting his school to become a Microsoft Showcase School (2019-2020). He was also awarded an ambassadorship by the ClassDojo software in the United States of America as the pioneer ambassador for Africa because of his enthusiasm for creating a fun and happier classroom. This was necessitated by a feat which he achieved with apps like Flipgrid, Skype and ClassDojo after connecting with a teacher from the United States of America in the bid to connect his classes, share cultures and teach kindness to his students such as raising funds for impoverished schools in Nigeria. David has been invited to speak about his practices in the classroom at notable conferences, locally and internationally and a few include the Association of International Schools in Africa (AISA) Innovative Practice Series and the Association of Private Educators in Nigeria (APEN) Global Classroom.
