I recently joined the staff of Boston Legacy FC. So thrilled to be a part of a brand new women’s professional soccer team as the NWSL grows. It’s a great day to start a new Legacy!⚽️🦢💚 Interested in coming to games? akelley@bostonlegacyfc.com

@gregkulowiec Congratulations!

A bit of an exciting change is coming up for me that I wanted to share. Three years ago I was presented with an opportunity to head back to a public school district as a Director of Technology. When I started my teaching career over 20 years ago at Plymouth South High School as a 9th grade history teacher, I had a notion that at some point I would be fortunate enough to have the role of tech director. I didn’t know where or how it would happen, but I always sensed that it would. I will always be grateful to the Triton Regional School District for giving me the opportunity to both learn the role of tech director while also bringing my personal experiences, leadership approach and abilities to the district. But it is time for change, and my time as the Director of Technology for Triton Regional Schools is coming to an end. I have loved learning the ins and outs of this role, and deepening my understanding of the life and world of an administrator. Learning how to lead a department, navigate the needs of an entire district and planning for long term sustainability was a challenging task and one that I did not take lightly. I am grateful for the opportunity to fulfill this role over the last three years, and I will genuinely miss working alongside my technology team, my fellow administrators and the classrooms and teachers that our department worked to support. On the exciting side, I will now be shifting my full time focus to academic technology consulting through The Kulowiec Group. It has been an incredibly exciting three years growing this business, and there are many exciting projects and partnerships on the horizon. I truly value every school and district that has put their trust in me to help guide their use of technology. There is so much exciting work to be done as schools navigate a rapidly changing landscape of technology in the classroom and the impact on teaching and learning. From the first web 2.0 tool that I integrated into my history classes, I have always seen great potential in the role that technology can have in creating new and unique opportunities for students to express their thinking, remove barriers for student expression and foster creativity. I could not be more excited to devote my time and energy full time into this truly important work. Coming this fall, here’s what you can expect to see from me and The Kulowiec Group: ✅ Revival of our weekly newsletter The Starting 5 ✅ Weekly Podcast Drops ✅ More Live Webinars and Courses ✅ Exciting project announcements ✅ More content from me, sharing my thoughts and perspectives on all things Academic Technology related Thank you to those who trust me with this work, it means the world to me, and I have truly loved working with every school, district and company that I have partnered with so far. I look forward to continuing all of these partnerships, and I’m thrilled to have more time to bring on new partnerships as well. We are just getting started!
