Steve was a storyteller who knew how to engage his audience while driving home his key messages. – Susie Vesper, New Zealand, 2010.

Relevant, humorous and thought provoking in equal measures, (Steve) had some great things to say and put a different slant on many things that are at the forefront of the technology in education debate.  I felt like I was mentioning significant points from the presentation via Twitter every few minutes, there was so much worth repeating and sharing. – Bev Evans, England, 2011.

Wheeler is a well established visionary in how technology is not only influencing the world of education, but how we think. – Simon Lewis, Ireland, 2012.

The audience clearly connected with him through his creative use of visuals and techniques for getting us to think critically... – Jenn Wicks, Qatar, 2013.

Steve is one of a rare breed who can make educational theory accessible and relevant to all. – Simon Finch, England, 2015.
