I work as Assistant Superintendent for C & I in Bloomingdale, IL a western suburb of Chicago. This is my third time at CoSN, and I am excited to learn all I can about increasing our global connections.  We have been 1:1 for four years now, and we need to increase the experiences our students have connecting with the world in relevant ways.  I am looking forward to bringing back many good ideas!

I was born in Manchester, UK, and spent my childhood living in the UK and in the USA.  Growing up in two countries made the world a very interesting place for me and opened my eyes to so much!

Hello All!
I'm at Educational Technology Specialist with the Vemtura County Office of Education in Camarillo, CA.
My current focus is digital citizenship and student privacy.  @techiedana is my Twitter handle.

My favorite experience was a 3 week tour of Israel with my husband and two adult sons. My mother- in-law travelled to then Palensitne in the early 1940's so it was exciting to visit the sites she memorialized in photos. She arrived from Marseilles via the same ship as some of Israel's early founders but we never knew the historical importance of what we considered
to be family photos until we shared them with locals. They expressed it was the same as having family members in a photo with George Washington or Ben Franklin - who knew!

Hello Everyone!

What an awesome day to be in Washington D.C.! I am from Cheyenne, Wyoming where I serve as the K-12 science coordinator for Laramie County School District #1. This is my first year in this role and love where the district is moving in science and technology education.

As far as a foreign experience that has shaped my world outlook, that would have to be the summer I discovered the power of music to cross cultural barriers. My family and I were traveling through Russia (then the Soviet Union). We were in Siberia. My parents were tired from the long trip and went to bed early. My sister, myself, and some other college students on the tour with us, headed to the bar to play cards (we were forbidden to leave the hotel). We began to play poker and asked the bartender if he would be willing to play some of our music. He agreed. We gave him Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and the bar began to fill up with people from all over the area.  They had never heard the album before (it was brand new at the time and unavailable outside of the US). Needless to say, no one in our group bought a single drink or our meal that night. What started out as a quiet card game ended as a fun filled night of dancing, laughter, and adult beverages! Good times!

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and work in the Louis Riel School Division (LRSD) as an ICT Coordinator.   We have 40 schools from K-12 in with just over 14,000 students.
