Becky Shorey

Manager of Educational Technology:

Jeffco Public Schools

Becky Shorey is a Google Certified Trainer and Innovator and piloted a 1:1 Chromebook classroom for four years.  In her 18 years of teaching, she has taught high school Earth Science, Environmental Science, Unified Science, and Astronomy at Green Mountain High School in Lakewood, CO. Her last 3 years at GMHS were working as an EdTech Coach and Mentor, where she trained faculty and students on the use of Chromebooks and usage of the Google Apps tools available. She worked one on one with teachers developing customized lessons integrating technology into their classrooms in creative ways to allow for student choice, creativity and increased critical thinking skills. 

The first year as an EdTech Mentor/ Coach, she planned and implemented a 1:1 program for the school, starting with the Freshman class. With all those new Chromebooks came a lot of repairs and Becky developed a Student Chromebook Repair Team where students are in charge of identifying the problem, fixing it and keeping track of inventory and billing. 

As Jeffco prepared to move to being a 1:1 school district in the fall of 2019, Becky moved into an administration role as Manager of  Strategic Projects where she and an amazing team planed for, deployed and supported schools and teachers with the Chromebook deployment. 

Starting in October os 2022, Becky became the Manager of the Ed Tech Department for Jeffco Public Schools and has a team of amazing Ed Tech TOSAs.

Becky has been married to her husband since 2011 and has 2 daughters. She is passionate about the environment, mountain biking, camping and loves going on fossil digs. She was a volunteer at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in the Paleontology Prep Lab for several years and went on a few digs including Snowmass, CO which turned out to be one of the world's largest ice age fossil discoveries. Becky grew up in Southeastern Pennsylvania and moved to West Virginia and Utah before finally settling in Colorado where she finished up her degree in Earth and Atmospheric Science at Metropolitan State College of Denver. She has since gone onto getting her Masters in Educational Technology and recently took a postion at the Manger of Educational Technology for Jeffco Public Schools.
