Hey hey! I'm so excited to have the opportunity to work with teachers across Texas! I'm an instructional technology coordinator in Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, a Google Certified Trainer, and a pumpkin enthusiast living in San Marcos, Texas! I love bringing the world to students through the GSuite tools and allowing them to authentically engage with newly acquired knowledge to hone newly acquired skills. My main focus at work is removing stressful barriers that prevent teachers from enjoying the benefits of using technology. At home, my cat demands my focus -- but he likes to garden too so that's is ok. Connect on Twitter: @calebhudgens

Angela Matthews describes her educational career as that of a teacher turned Instructional Technologist turned Chief Technology Officer and back to Instructional Technologist. She began her career as an elementary teacher. She then supported teachers in the area of technology integration. Later in her career she became the Chief Technology Officer in a medium sized district and learned to understand the world of budgets, wires, switches and construction. Her passion for curriculum and technology integration never diminished so she put aside that role and went back to her roots of an instructional technologist. She is a Google Certified Educator and has trained, coached and pushed a lot of teachers to use technology to enrich curriculum and engage kids. Connect on Twitter: @matthewsangela
