 About the Author
Jacqueline (Jackie) Keane
Jackie's new approach to learning has been carefully crafted after working as an instructional technology facilitator in Ramapo Central School District in New York. She has studied the instructional technology integration models of some of the most acclaimed districts in New York and throughout the country. She has also visited schools in Georgia, Texas, California and Louisiana to examine the instructional technology models being implemented in their schools.
Jackie's teaching career began at Wareham Middle School. She and her teaching partner spearheaded the district's first all-inclusive regular/special/alternative education teaching team. This team's lessons received accolades for authentically intertwining humanities and natural sciences curricula with historical concepts relevant to real-life situations and current events.
Jackie graduated from Sayville High School in Long Island, New York, and then pursued her studies at Providence College where she majored in history and secondary education. She completed her Master of Education at Framingham State College with a concentration in curriculum development and instructional technology. In addition, she has earned a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study at SUNY New Paltz with a concentration in educational leadership and administration.
Jackie consults and collaborates with teachers, library media specialists, technology coordinators, and administrators to design technology-rich curriculum units. These units employ instructional technology in a way that advances students' information-, visual-, and technical-literacy skills-all the while enhancing their understanding of core curricular concepts.
