Ann Smart - Educational Technology Consultant

Ann Smart - Educational Technology Consultant

Thanks for taking time to visit the LITT Network newsletter! My name is Ann Smart, I am the EdTech Consultant for the Lenawee ISD and REMC 19W Director. I also serve as a MACUl Board Member and act as co-project manager for the REMC Classroom Maker project. Prior to my current position, I worked as an EdTech Consultant for Jackson County ISD, Instructional Coach for Adrian Public Schools. I have also taught Reading and PE in Silverthorn, CO, Deming, WA, and Adrian, MI

I am passionate about educational innovation, maker-centered learning, STEAM educations, student-centered learning, and of course technology integration. I believe that every child should have the chance to inquire, create, innovate, and play every day.
