From the age of 12 (watching a computer play tic-tac-toe) to the present, Jennifer Wagner has always been fascinated with technology.
In 1996, Jennifer took her casual interest in computers into a full time position and became a Technology Coordinator in Corona, California. During that time, the lab doubled in size, and each classroom was equipped with computers, printers, and scanners. She also developed and maintained the school website for the school and preschool. She successfully wrote over $25,000 in small grants and took the students to a new level in technology proficiency.
In 2007, Jennifer left the classroom to work full time in the IT/Help Desk area in Murrieta, CA. It is the best of both worlds, in that she is able to assist the teachers in taking tech to high levels yet understand that security and safety are important in any classroom environment.
In 1999, Jennifer was looking for an interesting way to collect data for a science fair project and posted her question to the EdTech newsgroup board, and the Oreo Online Project was born. The Oreo Project is now in its NINTH year and JenuineTech.com (Jen’s website) hosts many online projects during each year. She has been a top finalist in the Global SchoolNet Foundation Teacher Award in 2002, 2003. 2004, & 2005 for her online projects and effective uses in teacher telecollaboration and she was awarded the top prize in the Global SchoolNet Foundation Teacher Award in 2006. Jennifer has also been recognized by ISTE, Kidspriation, Sigtel, TechMuseum, & Time Warner for her innovative uses with technology.
Her JenuineTech website also has a monthly newsletter with Great Links, Software Reviews, and a 30-Minute Technology Tip for teachers to print out and use immediately in their classroom or lab.
Jennifer graduated from Pacific Christian College in 1992. Though self-taught in many software programs, Jennifer continues to take any technology course she has time for. Jennifer was a tutor on AOL for several years, AACTchJen, in the Homework Help Area. She also teaches online at LVS Online in all Office programs. However, one of her favorite activities is traveling the US providing enthusiastic seminars and leaving teachers excited with ideas on how to use their computers immediately in their classrooms. She founded the Online Group, Women of Web 2.0 in Fall of 2006 and participates in a popular weekly podtalk show!
And in her spare time, Jennifer designs websites for teachers, schools, churches, and small businesses. But – yes, there is life away from the computer. She enjoys reading, writing, the theatre, the oceans, the mountains, and just sitting at home enjoying the company of her black and white cat, Mac.
