I am the director of education advocacy for AT&T in the state of Oklahoma. I work with K-20 educators and school leaders in the state, and at times outside the state, to promote effective and appropriate uses of educational technologies for learning. I provide a range of free workshops and presentations for educators, linked on http://teachdigital.pbwiki.com. As the education advocate, I facilitate and support collaborative learning projects and network with educators around the state to promote and provide sustained, high-quality professional development learning opportunities.
