About our Guest: Amber Hinkel

I am an experienced educator with over a decade of teaching experience in Florida, I am dedicated to helping teachers integrate technology tools into their classrooms. With a Master's degree in Instructional Technology, I have spent years researching and implementing the latest advancements in ed tech. In my current role as a Digital Innovation Specialist, I work closely with educators to help them understand and utilize ed tech tools. I am a certified Canvas Educator, a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert, an Adobe Creative Educator Leader, and an ISTE Certified Educator. My passion for ed tech is rooted in my belief that these tools can help teachers work smarter, not harder, while providing an opportunity to level the playing field for all students. Through my work, I strive to share my knowledge and empower teachers to use technology in innovative and effective ways.
