Currently district manager of the Department of Educational Technology, I have been an educator in Palm Beach County, FL for 30 years. I have been a classroom teacher, district technology program specialist and continue on my journey of sharing and learning.
Also a blogger and former hockeymom, I love everything about bringing the benefits of social media to the classroom and helping teachers integrate technology seamlessly. I have also co-hosted a local cable TV show, PalmBreeze CAFÉ where my segments focused on online tools useful for educators and the community. In addition to my personal blog at www.leekolbert.org, I also periodically blog for The Huffington Post. I currently do social media outreach and consultant work. If you are interested in how I can help your educational group better understand how social media can be safely used for good and not evil, contact me. You can also find me on Twitter here.
