Welcome! My name is Amber Trout and I am currently the Instructional Technology Manager at Pear Deck. I left my job as an Instructional Coach at a middle school after 11 years in public education to work in EdTech. I have worked with all grade levels K-8 while being in public education. I previously was the Lead Launch teacher for the Project Lead The Way program, and taught computer coding to grade K-5. I also ran the online digital academy for online electives for students 6-8. My specialty is in blended learning and technology and I provide professional development to educators in Colorado around instructional technology. I am a Google Certified Educator and Trainer, GEG (Google Education Group) Leader for Colorado, Global GEG Leader, an Apple Certified educator, and a Microsoft Innovative Educator, Flipgrid Ambassador, BrainPOP Certified Educator, to name a few.
In my free time (when I have it) I love to be outdoors. If I'm not doing that I am learning something new to show to educators. Learn more about me in my random autobiography below!
On the following pages you will find resources and websites to blend technology into your classroom. You will learn about different programs and software and be able to decide what is best for your needs. Enjoy!
