 Mara Linaberger

A passionate, life-long learner, artist, technologist, and adventurer. Having taught in K-5 settings for 17 years, trained teachers, served as a district administrator, and most recently having taught in a 1-room-schoohouse on an island 23 miles out to sea, I've seen a lot in the field of education. Now consulting full-time, writing coursework for online universities, and collaborating with communities to consider new options for technology-infused learning, I've found my authentic learning path as an educational entrepreneur. With the release of my first book, I've recently expanded my work to coach families looking to find the best educational setting for their unique child!

Some of my specialized skills include: online teaching & learning, emerging technologies (e.g. web 2.0 tools, wikis, blogs, podcasting, etc.), inquiry, creativity, mentoring, grant writing, project management, writing for publication, and editing.
