Presenters
I began my career working at the university level in adult education, while also working with 7th-12th grade students with behavioral issues in an alternative school. I have served as the Director of Educational Technology for a private, 1:1 high school and also at the district level as an instructional technology and web specialist for a low-income, public school district in Ohio. My passion for technology in education brought me to Forward Edge, where I oversee the C and I team. I work closely with our customers' Curriculum Directors, Principals and even Technology Directors to help them identify needs of their staff, plan PD and implement the PD with teachers. Currently, I also serve as the Outgoing President of the EdTech Coaches Network for ISTE, Future Ready Schools Instructional Coaches Thought Leader, Co-Leader of GEG Ohio and I am a Google Certified Innovator and Trainer.
I served as a Technology Coordinator and Consultant with the Ohio Region 14 State Support Team for about 10 years, specializing in educational technology, assistive technology, and Universal Design for Learning. I previously taught at both the high school and college levels. For over ten years, I have presented at local, regional, state, and national events on effective implementation of educational technology to benefit diverse learners. I am a Google Certified Trainer as well as having completed the Google Administrator Certification and the Google Educator Levels 1 and 2 Certifications.

I’ve been in education for seven years, and most recently, I had the privilege of teaching 7th grade Language Arts at Norwood Middle School while serving as one of the Technology Integration Specialists for the district. Before that, I worked with juniors and seniors as a special education teacher at two other local high schools. But, no matter where I’ve been, one of my biggest priorities has been championing instructional technology in the classroom. My passion for education opened the door to my current role at Forward Edge, and I’m both an Apple Teacher and a certified Level 1 & 2 Google Educator.

Facilitator
Educators facilitate learning with technology to support student achievement of the ISTE Standards for Students.
Computational Thinker
Students develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions.
When was this quote said?
“Nobody really knows what the future [of education] will be like, but we know what it won’t be like. We know it won’t be lots of children sitting in desks with pencil and paper writing all the day.”
1986
Why Coding?
12
“Among key and contrasting findings: while 90% of parents see computer science, or CS, as "a good use of school resources" (and 67% say CS should be required learning alongside other core classes), fewer than 8% of administrators believe parent demand is high. They also cite a lack of trained teachers as a top barrier to offering CS courses. Three quarters of principals report no CS programs in their school.”
