About our Guest

Lisa Kuhn

Lisa Kuhn is transforming lives with her down-to-earth collaborative style that engages educators in finding balance: balance between the digital and pen-and-paper worlds, and the balance that naturally occurs when you select the best tech tool for the job instead of using tech for tech’s sake. She holds a BS in French Education, as well as an MEd in Reading. She taught French for 19 years, during which she also served as building technology representative for her fellow teachers and as Info Tech teacher to her students. As an Instructional Design Coach, Lisa leverages the lessons learned from these experiences as she collaborates with fellow educators on their technology integration journey with their students. She is also a Google Certified Trainer.
