Mr. Mobley
Welcome. I am Jay Mobley, a former teacher and technology specialist with 23 years of experience in education now supporting teachers as an instructional coach and instructional technology specialist. I am driven by finding new ways for teachers to engage with their students through active, student-centered, and relevant learning. I also thrive off of helping build bridges for teachers to their goals by sharing EdTech ideas with them. My dedication comes from the fact that I love what I do and am right at home working in a school setting supporting teachers and staff; this work is my ultimate goal. I look forward to supporting you and your classes any way that I can.
