Now a seasoned technology leader in the field of education, Kyle has demonstrated the unique ability to integrate — to see the forest as well as the trees — and I believe this is a critical attribute for anyone pursuing a place of leadership in the transforming field of education . . . I've very much enjoyed working with Kyle. He is motivated and smart. He is well-intentioned. And he has an infectious ability to lead people with a gentle push instead of a forceful pull. Here at the Harvard International Negotiation Program, he nudged us out of our own comfort zone and transformed our infrastructure into a content-driven system that helps us to share information both within our program and to the outside world.

. . . I found Kyle's analytical skills to be very strong. He has a keen sense of identifying the real and relevant problems, distinguishing them from perceived or irrelevant ones. Moreover, he is an exceptional critical thinker. On numerous occasions he challenged others' and my ingrained assumptions about various issues related to the management of people and information technology.

. . . [H]is combination of technical depth in information technology and undergraduate background in psychology enabled him to contribute not only to understanding what in a situation . . . needed to change and what it needed to change to but also, importantly, how to cause the change to occur.

A Technology Manager like Kyle Jones is every school librarian's dream. Kyle's collaborative nature and cutting edge knowledge of the newest technologies is a combination that produces success, creativity and student achievement. Kyle's positive approach to technology and his willingness to encourage colleagues to express their strengths allows for an exciting and innovative approach to educational technology.

[H]is class truly prepared me well for college education, and also just having a broader view of what the real world is like. Kyle is a great teacher to work with, not only because he is knowledgeable in the subject, but also because he is very down to the earth and respects high school kids like adults. Even when we had conflicts and misunderstandings through out the year, Kyle treated me like an adult, rather than a young teenager who "messed up". Kyle is a guy who I can learn a lot from both inside and outside of the classroom, and it was definitely a pleasure for me to have him as a teacher in my last year of high school.

He managed to handle . . . complicated subjects together that are rarely even touched on in high school level education. The class activities that he planned for his classes–brain making, personality test, how to discern coca cola from pepsi–may not be similar to what's commonly associated with the conventional 'class activities,' but these are living examples that show what Kyle is like as a teacher; he was the single most pragmatic teacher I had in my educational career.
