Tobye Ertelt was born and raised in Colorado. Today, she lives and works in her home state as a Digital Teacher Librarian.
There is a false perception “that we have two societies: the ‘real world’ and the ‘digital world’,” says Tobye. This perception can be changed by explaining the links between 4 important concepts: ethical behavior, digital conduct, global citizenship, and taking action in the world.

- Find a project learning network.
- Always be flexible.
