Technology Integrationist

My name is Jody Kelley and I am enthusiastic to begin another school year as the District's Technology Integrationist at Ballard.  I started my journey at Ballard in the 2013-14 school year as the K-5 Technology Integrationist. In my second year (2014-15), I expanded my role to include teaching 7th grade technology exploratory, while continuing to serve as the K-5 Technology Integrationist. The following year (2015-16), I was honored to take on the role of District Technology Integrationist. In the 2023-24 school year, Ballard introduced my role as a Computer Science educator for 6th and 8th graders at the middle school.

I look forward to another year at Ballard, continually impressed by the supportive administration, dedicated teaching staff, and the wonderful parents and students who make this district so special. Ballard Schools provide an exceptional environment for families to raise and educate their children.

Outside of school, I enjoy cheering on the Iowa State University Cyclones and spending quality time with family and friends.
