About Kate Olson

I am a former accountant turned educator. My current educational focus is educational technology and specifically preparing students for the realities of technology being used in business today. I am employed by various organizations for work in online learning, professional development and curriculum development. In my spare time, between chasing after 2 toddlers on her farm near La Crosse and working out of my home office, I explore many different online arenas and assesses their place in education today. I am an active blogger and believe fervently in the power of Web 2.0 tools to change education and business. I am the founder of and writes about my adventures in motherhood at This Mommy Gig - a group parenting blog with a diverse group of writers.

I also write about education at SavvyAuntie - my articles there include:

Auntie Knows Best
An Auntie’s Guide to School Involvement
5 Tips for Back to School Auntie

The online professional development courses I have created and facilitate at Professional Learning Board include:

Introduction to Technology for Teachers
Web Technology for Teachers
Using Your Moodle

I’m always open to new ideas and projects - get in touch if you think we could work together.

All writings are my own opinion and in no way represent the beliefs of my employers, clients or the businesses for whom I consult.
