- About Me:
- My expertise is focused in the areas of educational technology and children’s interactive media. I am currently the Executive Director of MOUSE (Making Opportunities for Upgrading Schools and Education). MOUSE is an innovative youth development organization that prepares students with essential technology and 21st century skills, empowering them to become the leaders of tomorrow.
Prior to joining MOUSE, I was the Director of the Interactive Media for Children program at the Markle Foundation. Under her leadership, the IMC program worked to help realize the potential benefits of interactive media for children by building partnerships between industry, the academy and consumers.
Ms. Wacey came to Markle from her position as Deputy Director of the Office of Education Technology and Senior Policy Advisor at the U.S. Department of Education. In that capacity, she provided leadership for the Clinton Administration on the development and implementation of national educational technology policy, e-Learning: Putting a World-Class Education at the Fingertips of All Children, and addressed issues such as telecommunications, the digital divide, Internet safety, privacy, and e-commerce.
