Judy Blakeney is an English and Career Technical Education teacher at Aliso Viejo Middle School (Capistrano Unified School District). She also serves as the #CUEchat coordinator, organizing CUE’s weekly Twitter chat that supports CUE’s Leadership, Rockstar, Affiliates, Learning Networks, and Authors connection with CUE members. As a Google Innovator and Trainer, she enjoys exploring ways to support innovative, interactive, and learner-centered professional learning. Her Google Innovator project, StrengthBasedEDU provides professional learning for teachers focusing on their own and students’ strengths, using technology tools like Thrively, Flipgrid, and Google Sites for student digital portfolios. She actively participates in two California Teachers Association-affiliated organizations, the Instructional Leadership Corps (ILC) and Institute for Teaching (IFT), expanding her strength-based educational work. In the 2018-2019 school year, she was awarded a $5,000 grant from the IFT titled, “Prepare for the Future: Coding and Career Focused Education,” to support her strength-based work in her middle school CTE classroom. Additionally, she is pursuing an Ed.D. in Educational Technology at Boise State University, currently working on her dissertation focused on the use of Twitter for educator professional learning.
