Meet Craig

Craig Dunlap is the Blended Learning Teacher at Yealey Elementary School in Boone County School District (Florence, KY).  In his 30-year teaching career, his love of technology has followed him through four different schools. He has taught at private schools in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Ohio before joining the staff at Yealey in 2016. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Education from Cairn University in suburban Philadelphia and a Masters of Education from Cedarville University near Columbus, OH.  

Craig’s first school was a small private school which had only one computer for kindergarten through eighth grades.  So, he brought his own desktop to school to share with his 4th graders. From that point on, his students could count on him to integrate technology whenever possible.  At Yealey, Craig focuses on robotics, coding, video production, and creating metaverse experiences. Craig loves working with other teachers to integrate amazing technology with regular content and bring out students' inner tech-awesomeness.  Mr. Dunlap also heads up social media feeds for the school, maintaining Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube content.  He leads a Video Club for 3rd-5th grade students and is an ambassador for WeVideo, Cubelets, and ClassVR.  Craig was also the 2021 KySTE Impact Teacher of the Year. 

Craig is a frequent presenter at edtech conferences, having shared at ISTE, KySTE, and OETC about various topics such as genius hour, social media, book commercial videos, makerspace badges, virtual reality, and collaborations with teachers in his building and around the world.  

Mr. Dunlap lives in Covington, KY, with his wife -- a 2nd grade teacher -- and high school daughter.  When not working with robots and cameras, you can find Craig enjoying the outdoors with with his family on a hiking trail or in a garden.
