Hey there and welcome back to the Teammate Apart podcast. Today’s guests are Microsoft master trainers, international keynote speakers, and training and education consultants Alberto and Mario Herraéz — AKA the eTwinz.
Mario and Alberto were born in Salamanca, Spain arriving in America as student educators in a Spanish language immersion program in Syracuse, Utah. A suburb of Salt Lake City. Shortly after completing their internship, both returned home to finish their education and just one year later returned to Utah as full-time teachers in the same program.
Taking advantage of all America had to offer, the twins continued their education, mastering the implementation of technology in education. Along the way, they picked up numerous awards and accolades and have since become master trainers and partners with Microsoft and numerous others, which has allowed them the ability to offer their students a 21st-century education on the bleeding edge of technology.
This mastery of technology in communication has led to numerous keynotes and workshops where the eTwinz have adapted their teaching techniques to train corporate clients around the world how to leverage technology and communication skills to thrive in the future of work. Joining us today to speak about digital transformation, developing “future-ready” skills, leveraging technology in remote training, and the power of global communication please join me in welcoming to the show, Alberto and Mario Herraéz.

About Alberto and Mario - AKA the Etwinz
Alberto and Mario were born and raised in Salamanca, Spain, and came to Utah several years ago on a scholarship to teach. They graduated from the University of Valladolid with a Bachelors in Education. After coming to Utah and starting their teaching careers, they were hungry for more learning. The eTwinz attended the University of Utah where they graduated with a Masters in Education from a participating school, the International University of La Rioja.
Currently, Alberto and Mario teach 5th and 6th grade at Canyon Creek Elementary School in Farmington where their students are part of the Spanish/English Immersion program. They are heavy users of technology, and they enjoy sharing their passion with the students at Canyon Creek Elementary.
These practices have been recognized by institutions like UCET (Utah Coalition for Educational Technology) and DSD (Davis School District) that granted the eTwinz with several awards such as the Outstanding Young Educators of the Year Award or the Best of Davis Award.
They have presented in many conferences and events around the United States and Europe sharing their knowledge and expertise to help educators to transform their practice. Some of these events are NCCE (Seattle, Washington), TCEA (San Antonio, Texas), UCET (Salt Lake City, Utah), FETC (Miami, California), Microsoft Educator Exchange (Paris, France), and SIMO (Madrid, Spain) just to name a few.
The Herraez twins are great ambassadors of education and its importance. They advocate for 21st-century educational practices. They have been featured by many newspapers from all over the world such as El Mundo (Spain), Salamanca 24h (Spain), el Diario de Valladolid (Spain), and The Globe and Mail (Canada) among many others.
