Chris Walsh’s Summary
Experienced educator, technologist, and entrepreneur focused on the creative use of technology to improve learning for all ages.
I have a wide range of leadership experience in education and business, developing products and programs for online startups, Google, the U.S. Dept of Education, KIPP, CUE, and many other educational organizations.
I earned an M.A. from Stanford University in "Learning, Design, and Technology." I also hold a B.A. and M.Ed. from UCLA. I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, kayaking, and searching for the perfect chocolate chip cookie.
