He is author of numerous articles, books, and teacher resources and continues to work directly with teachers, administrators and students. Combining twenty-five years of experience in the educational technology field with an eye for the future, Jason connects with people where they are, and helps them see their importance in the future development of living, learning and working in the Digital Age.
