Nikki Schafer

Biography: My name is Nikki Schafer, and I am an Instructional Technology Specialist for Millard Public Schools in Omaha, Ne. I grew up with two computer scientist parents, so it was inevitable that I would find my way to technology. I have taught in Washington State and here in Millard for the last 10 years. My husband and I live here in Omaha with our two little girls who are currently 4 and 6. My favorite days in my job are the ones that allow me to work with teachers, structured or not. I have a passion for helping those around me, and a knack for technology. Those two traits have lead me to where I am. I would love it if I could help such an important organization grow even further. I feel that NETA is so valuable that it needs to be shared with all teachers, not just those who identify as “techies”. If I am lucky enough to be chosen, I would work hard to make NETA accessible to as many educators as possible, while making sure to maintain the high quality of professional development opportunities we have all come to count on.
