Meet the TCEA 2024 Featured Speakers

Meet Adam Phyall

Dr. Adam Phyall III is the director of professional learning and leadership for Future Ready Schools and the former director of technology and library media services for Newton County School System in Covington, GA. Since Adam got his first laptop in college, he has been hooked on the fantastic things that technology can add.

Early in his teaching career, Adam began having students create videos and podcasts to explain advanced science concepts. Once Adam saw the impact that technology had on learning in his classroom, he began to share his activities and strategies with his peers. This led to Dr. Phyall working as a building instructional technology leader and later as a director of technology and media services.

Throughout his professional career, Dr. Phyall has worked extensively with Title I and Urban schools to improve technology integration with economically disadvantaged students. He has developed Mobile Learning plans for school districts in Georgia and Missouri that have led to 1:1 device initiatives. His philosophy on teaching is “if you’re having fun teaching it, then your students will have fun learning it.”
