Gabriel Carrillo has served in the educational field since he graduated high school. He’s been an Instructional Assistant, Substitute Teacher, Teacher, Dean of Students, assistant principal, and Instructional Technology Specialist. He started his journey in California then moved to Arizona with his wife and where they started their family. After 11 years in the dry heat, the family of four picked up and moved to San Antonio, Texas. He loves helping those who help our students. He currently supports teachers with all of their EdTech needs in the classroom. This includes coaching, planning lessons/units with teachers, modeling lessons for teachers, and providing professional development.
He is the author of Cooking Up Experiences In The Classroom: Focus On Experiences, Not Just Lessons. In this book, Gabriel discusses how teachers can cook up memorable experiences in the classroom and in the kitchen. Each chapter is filled with ideas for the classroom and includes a mouth watering recipe to cook up in the kitchen. He’s presented at many national conferences including FETC, TCEA, and ISTE. Because he is a foodie, he hosts walking food tours at conferences to bring people together over a meal. He believes that great conversations happen when we break bread with great people and makes this happen at his social events.
His podcast, EdTech Bites, is where he shares his educational technology and food expertise. Many of his conversations are video recorded and can be found on his YouTube channel as well. Check out his show on Apple Podcast, Spotify, YouTube or your favorite podcast app.
