Addie Jean Kinsinger, 93, passed away on April 19, 2019. She entered Hiram College in 1944. There she met her husband, Jack, who started there upon returning from service with the Army Air Force. Fresh out of college, Addie taught school in upstate New York while Jack pursued his master's degree at Cornell, and then she helped run local youth group activities in the Philadelphia suburbs as Jack finished his Ph.D. at University of Pennsylvania. In the late 1950's, Jack, Addie and their two children moved to Michigan. She worked as a professional librarian and instructional materials designer in the Okemos School System outside of Lansing, Michigan. Later she earned her masters' degree in Library Science at Western Michigan University and then ran a school library system in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She also began a long period of involvement in professional organizations, first with the Michigan Association of Middle School Educators, (MAME) and later with the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT), as an early proponent of the role of technology on how education was developed and transmitted. She became president of AECT in 1993-1994. Later she helped to run its Foundation for many years and was instrumental both in its mentoring program and in helping to extend its international reach. She was an Emeritus Trustee until her passing. In 1982, Addie and Jack moved to Arizona where Addie worked with ASU's PBS station KAET, managing its state-wide educational technology outreach and volunteering on pledge nights. Addie visited several local school systems in Arizona to help them adapt learning technology to their curricula. She retired in 1990. Addie is survived by one sister, a son, step-grandson, a daughter, three grandchildren, and her former husband, Jack Kinsinger, who was Vice President for Academic Affairs at ASU from 1982-1987. Any donations can be made in her name to Hiram College or to AECT. (Source: Arizona Republic)
