Education Specialist

Bio -
Gerri Maglia has been an educator for 20 years and has had a hand in some form of Educational Technology for 17 years. For the past 11 years, the primary focus of her work revolves around the use of interactive two-way synchronous video conferencing technology to support teaching and learning at the K - 12 level. Gerri is employed (since August 2008) with the Texas Education Telecommunications Network (TETN) and the previous 10 years with Education Service Center Region XI in Fort Worth, Texas. Gerri believes that even more critical than obtaining the technology, is to create and use plans and systems that ensure utilization of that technology to fill a need. To support program registration and to assist with marketing, Gerri builds web applications/databases such as the Connect2Texas program, a collaborative of 15 museums and outreach organizations in the state of Texas whose primary mission is to deliver student and staff educational programs to the K - 12 community. She is now building a similar resource for TETN. Gerri hopes to bring a new level of resources, including Internet 2 resources, to Texas students that include asynchronous discussions and digital video streaming content.
