Justin Olmanson, Ph.D., is a associate professor of teaching, learning and teacher education. He designs education technologies that make new things possible, particularly creative and participatory literacies and language learning practices within multilingual K-12 contexts. He focuses on creating the conditions for ongoing, wide-ranging, open-ended community dialogue about education, learning and technology.
Olmanson studies ecologies of expression in and beyond K-12 classrooms, tracks how education technologies circulate within those contexts and collaboratively designs experiences that support new, personally meaningful, culturally relevant, heterogeneous, longitudinal learning experiences.
