Chief Technology Officer, Santa Cruz County Office of Education
Borgen has worked in the K-12 environment for over 15 years, initially as a teacher focused on creating an environment beyond brick and mortar learning. He spent many years supporting school administrators across California with effective ways to leverage technology to lead 21st-Century schools as part of the statewide Technology Information Center for Administrative Leadership (TICAL) project, as well as training teachers in transformative practices in their classroom. Borgen spent three years leading curriculum and technology programs in a small school district in the Silicon Valley, where he increased bandwidth from 20 Mbps to 1 Gbps, thanks to support and the efforts of the K12HSN.
