Summary

Julie Young was implementing a half-million-dollar technology program in her school, and loving it. Then her husband got a promotion and transfer. Starting over in a bare-bones country school, where none of the furniture even matched, she knew she would have to ask for a computer, a request she never regretted. Today, she is a leading voice for revolutionizing K-12 online education on the global stage. She is vice-president of Education Outreach and Student Services for Arizona State University, and Managing Director of ASU Prep Academy and ASU Prep Digital.
