About Me

I’m Justin K. Reeve, and I’ve been the web manager for Weber School District in Utah since 2005. I'm not a teacher, but I have a passion for educational technology, and I love discovering new tech tools that help teachers engage their students better. I’m responsible for coming up with new web technology strategies for the district, and building the web sites to accommodate our parents, teachers, administrators, and students. If anything, my teaching interest is in professional development, and helping other teachers become better users of instructional technology.

Before my career in educational technology, I worked for private companies in various programming, database administration, and web development positions. I’m one of the founding members of the Venture Academy charter school in Ogden, Utah, and developed and implemented the school’s technology plan. I’m also the technology consultant for the Utah ASCD. I have a B.S. in Computer Science from Weber State University, and I’m currently pursuing a Masters degree in Educational Technology from Boise State University.

I see instructional technology as something that is immensely valuable, yet also lacking in our own school district (as well as educational institutions across the country). There is so much potential for new learning opportunities, new instructional styles, and initiating changes for the better that can be implemented through technology, and often educational professionals are simply unaware of the possibilities. I hope to use what I have been learning during the course of my professional and graduate careers to help teachers realize what they can do to better engage their students.
