As a Director of Technology, Mary Jane Warden currently leads a team of 33 members in a technology services department that supports innovation and instructional technology in Park Ridge-Niles District 64 in Illinois. Warden has been in education for 26 years, serving over the decades as a middle school social studies/language arts teacher, staff developer, and district-level technology director in Illinois. She found her inner geek when the internet first hit the scene back in 1994 and, through a state grant brought, an ISDN line to her school. Her energies since then have been invested in building technology tools and infrastructure in supporting students and teachers in teaching and learning in a digital age. She has presented at local and national conferences as an educator, technologist and instructional coach. Image courtesy of Warden
