Gail Lovely is a former classroom teacher. She believes that teaching is her calling and a deep part of who she is. Gail taught in Southern California inner-city schools for 9 years before moving into first district, and later regional, positions in staff development and technology in the classroom. Gail founded a company, Lovely and Associates, to help educators integrate technology and curriculum through excellent staff development and support. After earning her Master’s Degree in Educational Computing from Pepperdine University, Gail enjoyed being an Adjunct Professor there for many years, teaching technology integration courses to students in the Graduate School of Education and Psychology. She returned to university teaching last year at the University of Houston. Along the way Gail has hosted an online community for teachers on Scholastic Network, founded the K2 Email List for Classroom Connect, and written ongoing columns in Learning and Leading with Technology, Instructor Magazine, Electronic Learning, and Curriculum Administrator Magazine. Gail loves to teach and continues to do so by sharing her vision for the active classroom, the improvement of the relationship between teacher, learner and curriculum and other inspirational yet practical messages. Gail is the proud mother of two technology-savvy boys. Gail currently calls Friendswood, Texas home.
