About K.L. Evans

Welcome! My name is Karen Evans and I am one of fourteen facilitators at Frisco ISD. I was a classroom teacher for 14 years and completed my Masters in Educational Technology in 2002. August 2008 will begin my seventh year at Frisco ISD as a Technology Integration Facilitator (TIF).

As a Technology Integration Facilitator, my primary duties are: assisting educators in integrating technology into their curricula, curriculum writing and multiple staff developments. Additional duties include:

• Assist teachers in creating/planning multimedia projects (i.e. Claymation/Movie Maker/etc)

• ForeThought, Workshop, eschool, Outlook, MS Software Applications, District Software and Document Camera training/troubleshooting

• Organize videoconferences involving outside providers and inter-district locations

• Provide web resources; develop computer centers; templates; create scavenger hunts; hotlists; and WebQuests

Recently, I created a few blogs:

• Techie-Bytes, a technology related blog.

My primary interest is my husband of 27 years. He is a heart transplant recipient who will celebrate his 18th transplant birthday on 04April09. He is my source of strength and support...my very best friend....and the love of my life.
