Wanda Joy Lopez, Ed.D.

Dr. Lopez remembers the horrible basic computer programming course she took at Cal Poly, SLO back in the "dark days". At the time she thought, "Technology is for geeks."Now Dr. Lopez holds both a M.A. and Ed.D. in Educational Technology, works daily to ensure the technology is seamlessly integrated into the lives of teachers and students, and embraces her geekiness. Dr. Lopez has helped several schools design and begin one-to-one laptop programs, designed and taught online courses for high school and college students, and lectures regarding Internet safety and harassment. Currently she is the Director of Educational Technology at Sacred Heart High School in Atherton, CA.

Philosophy Statement:
Humankind is only limited by his or her imagination. Education will continue to evolve. Educators must also evolve in order to help children achieve their life dreams. As educators it is hoped that the skills and behaviors learned at school will be internalized and become part of their lives at home, in the real world, and in the virtual world.
