Clara J. Alaniz

Instructional Technology Specialist, TX certified principal, Google Certified Educator, @EdCampGlobal organizer, @pisdetsi organizer

I am addicted to learning and passionate about educational technology. I began my career teaching at the elementary level. After receiving a M.S. degree in Computer Education and Cognitive Systems, I began working as an Instructional Technology Specialist and this is my 14th year in that position. In 2009, I earned a second Master's degree in Educational Administration and am a TX certified principal. I am dedicated to promoting 21st century skills, digital citizenship, and meaningful curriculum connections in all aspects of tech integration. I am an advocate for all learners and strive to find solutions to end the digital divide.

I have had the privilege of presenting on various topics relating to professional development, tech integration, and digital citizenship/literacy at ASCD, Region 10 Tech, North Texas Visioning Consortium, Texserv Technology Symposium, and various edCamps.

Come see us at ISTE 2016! We are presenting one session on Monday, June 27:
