Jill Coyle is currently an elementary school
technology coordinator in Gwinnett
County Public Schools. Her job includes supporting technology
for both staff and students in her elementary school. She
spends after-school time instructing staff development classes
for teachers to help them integrate technology into their
curriculum.
She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education
from the State University
of West Georgia (formerly called West Georgia College)
in Carrollton, GA and holds a Master’s Degree in Middle
School Education from the University
of Georgia in Athens, GA. She completed her doctorate
in instructional technology and distance education from Nova
Southeastern University in December 2002. Her dissertation
dealt with integrating technology into the elementary gifted
and talented program.
This is her 26th year in education. For the past 11 years
she has been a technology coordinator. Previously she taught
fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades in both self-contained
and departmentalized situations in several Georgia elementary
and middle schools.
In her spare time, Jill loves to play tennis. In addition,
she is looking forward to resuming some old hobbies such as
pleasure reading, sewing, and spending time with her family
(three things that have had low priorities while working on
her doctorate). Jill has one son, Matthew, who is 23.
