Kate Fitzgerald

Teacher in Swansboro, North Carolina

I am currently a high school world history teacher and a Third Culture Kid. I was born in the USA, but spent a lot of my childhood living outside the United States. I have lived in Germany, Japan, Thailand and many different states. These experiences have made me very focused on #globaleducation and turning students into global citizens. America's students need to connect with cultures from around the world at a young age.

Along with Global Education I am highly interested in and involved with EdTechnology. I am a 1:1 teacher, which mean each of my students have their own laptop. I believe the future of education is not education adapting to tech, but the other way around. We need to find innovative ways to increase teacher productivity, not replace teachers. I believe in the human experience of face to face education. But that face to face does not necessarily mean being in the same room.

If you are interested in education or EdTech I would love to chat, email or Tweet at me!
