Ellen M. Driscoll

“Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal. The winner is he who gives himself to his work, body, and soul.” –Charles Buxton

“Zealous” describes Ellen’s attitude toward life and learning. She has worked as an aide, substitute, and a high school technology teacher before becoming a Technology Systems Administrator for Barnstable and Plymouth. Ellen retired as Chief Technology Officer from Middleborough Public Schools. Her connection to MassCUE as an organization with its values and dedicated members has been central to her growth and devotion to technology and learning.

Ellen first discovered MassCUE as an elementary computer teacher and joined a SIG in 1994. She has witnessed and worked for the dramatic growth in MassCUE. Receiving the 2008 MassCUE Pathfinder Award was a lifetime achievement. In 2015, ISTE recognized Ellen’s work advocating for Technology in Massachusetts with a plaque at their annual conference in June in Philadelphia. Again in 2017, she was awarded the coveted ISTE Making IT Happen (Jacket) Award representing MassCUE.

Ellen has had the pleasure of serving as the secretary on the MassCUE Board for ten years and returns now to fulfill that role again as the Interim 2025 Secretary. She has served on the Conference Committee, Influence and Advocacy Committee and the founding Board of METAA. In 2008, she was appointed by the state Commissioner of Education to the Educational Technology Advisory Council for two terms. Ellen spent six years as an elected School Committee member representing the residents of Mattapoisett, where she still lives with her husband, John and rescue dog Pepe. Their three children have made them proud grandparents of nine young adults.
