At Edvolve we believe the purpose of education is to help kids live their best and most fulfilling lives—now and in the future. But the world is changing. Technology is transforming nearly every aspect of life, and that requires us to rethink how we prepare all kids to thrive in an ever-changing world. Edvolve exists to support K-12 schools and districts, teacher preparation programs, and other education organizations as they prepare students for success in this increasingly digital and connected world. We do that through a range of services such as assessment of edtech teaching & learning practices, professional learning facilitation, and edtech leadership development, each filtered through our values of innovation, depth, well-being, and joy. At Edvolve we know we’re successful when your students become self-directed learners who use technology and digital resources to solve problems, collaborate, and share knowledge in a way that is personally and socially responsible. Together we can transform teaching and learning toward a vision of digital age literacy and citizenship for all students.
Edvolve is based in sunny Phoenix, AZ, but works with educators all over the nation.

ABOUT LEEANN
education technologist | professional developer | researcher | change agent | boundary pusher

I love being an educator. A self-proclaimed “education nerd,” I’m fascinated by how we learn (learning theory), why we learn (motivation), and practices that facilitate learning (pedagogy)! I’m fired up about innovative practices that use technology as a tool to foster creativity, critical thinking, and global communication. I’m also a bit obsessed with how the proliferation of technology changes what kids need to know to be successful now and in the future… the “new literacies” of the digital age.
Committed to advancing educational technology policy and practices, my end game is about ensuring that every student is equipped with the skills they need to thrive in the digital landscape of today and tomorrow. I’ve helped implement real change in K-12 and in teacher preparation, and I’ve conducted research on the outcomes of those practices. I’ve been honored with some cool awards for my work (which you can see on my resume, if you’re interested), but the REAL reward is working with amazing educators to transform practice with technology... that in turn improves student outcomes. I care deeply about empowering both teachers and students to be curious and self-driven learners. |
