Jon Corippoo - The EduProtocol Field Guide: 16 Student-Centered Lesson Frames for Infinite Learning Possibilities

Marlena Hebern is known for her gentle approach to educators. She draws upon her eighteen years of successful classroom experience when training, supporting, and coaching teachers on engaging students through technology, hands on tech, and district implementation of technology programs.

After spending summers working at summer camps and as a swimming instructor, Marlena decided to pursue a career in education. Those early outdoor classroom experiences shaped her approach to education as she looked for ways to engage her students with hands on curriculum. Her greatest passion was teaching young children to read for the first time. (A thrill that will never grow old!)

Marlena also worked as an English language arts K8 academic coach and as an English Language Arts K8/English Language Learner Services Coordinator. She especially loves her current job as Coordinator II of Instructional Technology Services at Fresno County Superintendent of Schools in the Californias Central Valley because shes in classrooms working with educators most of the time!

Marlena has been recognized as a Beginning Teacher Support Provider of the Year and has a masters degree in Reading Instruction. She is also a Google Certified Innovator, Google Certified Trainer, and co-founder of Edcamp Yosemite. Marlena also presents at local and regional conferences.

Marlena enjoys her rural home near Yosemite National Park and the outdoors with her husband, who is a talented (and retired) multimedia/video teacher. They are very proud of their two daughters, who are now embarking on their young careers, one as a Human Geographer and the other as an Aerospace Engineer.

Jon Corippo describes himself as a formerly disgruntled student. He made it almost all the way through school at a 2.9 GPA. His final three semesters in advertising changed everything, though: Advertising classes were project based. Jons grades shot to nearly 4.0. Also while at Fresno State, Jon served as a graduate assistant football coach, learning about leadership and teaching at the feet of Jim Sweeney. Jon graduated college with no intention of teaching.

After about seven years in non-educational jobs, Jons amazing wife persuaded him to try his hand in education: He was hooked after just two days as a long-term sub on an emergency credential.

About twenty years later, Jon had served a decade at the K8 level, opened a 1:1, project-based learning, Google-based high school, served in two county offices, including as an assistant superintendent and IT director. Jon has been recognized a County Teacher of the Year, a 20 to Watch Educator by the NSBA, and was a finalist in the EdTech Digest Awards. Jon also holds the Apple Distinguished Educator, Google Certified Innovator, and Microsoft Innovative Educator badges.

Jon is very proud of his work with CUE, where he currently serves as the organization's director. His work with CUE includes creating the CUE Rock Star concept of professional development, with a focus on hands-on learning and getting teachers connected via social media. CUE Rock Star Camps now include Admin, TOSA, Teacher and Specialized Editions for core areas. Jon has lead the development of the very successful CUE Launch program, and the well-received CUE BOLD Symposium. Under Jons leadership, CUE professional learning has trained over 30,000 educators in only two years.

Jon lives in Coarsegold, California, near Yosemite, with his wife (a very successful educator), three children, and a random number of free-range chickens.
