Scott Wilkerson is just a regular guy. A former classroom teacher turned techno-geek, he now works as an instructional technology specialist with the Clarke County School District. As co-founder of TNN (Tiger News Network) at JJ Harris Elementary, Scott is an essential part of our district’s successful morning news programs. He also plays a mean guitar.
Amy Ingalls works as an instructional technology specialist for the Clarke County School District. As a former English teacher, Amy enjoys helping students bring stories to life using digital tools. While not an early riser, she still loves to get up at the crack of dawn to help make the Bee TV News Team's dreams come true. It helps that Dr. Weaver makes coffee.
