Kristin was a middle school teacher until her affinity for/love of technology as an engaging learning tool led her to become a technology professional developer. She enjoyed supporting teachers in their journey with technology integration, especially because technology is constantly evolving. There's no complacency and never a dull moment in the world of technology! As time progressed and our world evolved, Kristin began to see more clearly how technology could be used to make connections outside the walls of the school buildings. Today, Kristin's job as a Distance Learning Specialist enables her to connect students and teachers with others all over the world.
