Foote, Digital Librarian Westlake High School, Austin, Texas "Davis powerfully addresses the human side of technology integration. She moves teachers and school leadership with her passion, while offering real solutions to the issues that arise when integrating technology. Her solutions and ideas focus on improving the discourse between teachers, students, and leadership so that they all work collaboratively in enhancing the learning environment. She also addresses ways we can encourage women and minorities to take leadership roles in the field of education technology." -Shelly Sanchez Terrell Author/Founder of The 30 Goals Challenge for Teachers
