Tom Hood , CEO & Executive Director at Maryland Association of CPAs Bill - what an inspiring presentation! I loved your insights about the 'Epoch Adventure' from the gaming world. Great clips from Ted Talks that show gaming is the future of education, even for CPAs. Loved Jane McGinigal & Claus Nehmzow. Also great CPA examples from E&Y Inventory School; Dr. Kraten and Suffolk University accounting students, Dr. Steven Hornik at UCF, and our own experience running CPE on CPA Island. Great work! 1 year ago

Are you sure you want to Yes No

Tom Hood , CEO & Executive Director at Maryland Association of CPAs Bill, Great preso and I love the use of images instead of slides full of text - very 'zen-like'. 1 year ago
