My name is Bayly DiPilato, and I’ve been a high school English teacher for almost twenty years. I’ve worked mostly with students in Southern New Jersey. In addition to traditional English classes, I’ve had the pleasure of designing and teaching courses in media literacy, journalism, and global perspectives.

Over the past two decades, I’ve witnessed and engaged in the tech innovations that have found their way into our classrooms (and our back pockets). Many educators would agree that technology has stoked just as much creativity and curiosity as it has frustration and concern. I find myself operating in both camps.

These experiences have inspired my current pursuit toward a doctoral degree in Educational Technology and my mission to tap into the experiences, expertise, and philosophies of others grappling with Big Tech and what it all means for education.
