About Kim House
I am an educational technology coach at an international school in Munich, Germany. I'm originally from California. I predominantly work with elementary teachers and students. I love working with teachers to design learning engagements that get kids excited about learning and using technology. I love STEM and robotics and especially love working with students to make their ideas come to life. I'm a Google Trainer, ISTE Trainer and an Apple Distinguished Educator. I'm a mom of two teenage boys and when I'm not working I love to sing in a band.
