Jennifer Porter
Solutions Enablement Program Manager,
SmartPass
United States
Jennifer Porter began her EdTech journey as a student teacher in a Vail, Arizona classroom in 2006, never realizing that young teachers probably shouldn’t volunteer to pilot new technology then train the veteran teachers! This early adopter mindset stayed strong when she became a technology coordinator in 2018 and had entire schools join in. In 2023, Jennifer decided that helping more schools transform their practices was the next step and she moved onto the vendor side of EdTech.
As the Solutions Enablement Program Manager at SmartPass, Jennifer is uniquely positioned to support schools and districts with all things student movement and learning. She couldn’t quite leave K-20 Education behind though and currently serves as the President-Elect of the Arizona Technology Education Association (AzTEA), an ISTE Partner and CoSN Chapter.
When she’s not focused on solving all the problems, and teaching others how to solve them too, you’ll find her at home with her family in Arizona, or visiting her adult children and granddaughter across the country. An avid reader, hiker, swimmer, and skier, you’re equally likely to find Jennifer enjoying the outdoors as you are to find her curled up with a good book and a cup of coffee!
