It all began right before spring break in 2011...I came across an article about Jon Bergmann and Aaron Sams, two dynamic chemistry teachers in Woodland Park, Colorado who decided to do something different and "flip" their classrooms to help students who had to miss a lot of their classes due to athletics and needing to leave early to travel since their school was up in the mountains...after losing a lot of sleep and working all through spring break, the journey began....

Before all the mayhem of trying to do something different in my classes, I had been fortunate to have had an amazing 15(!) years of being lucky enough to teach physics and share in the fun with my students, and I also had some unique opportunities like teaching an aviation camp for 7 years in an actual hangar with real airplanes (so when I grow up I want to get my pilot's license!) and remember that kids actually like to learn for fun (otherwise why would they wake up early in the summer and come to a hot, sweaty garage full of machinery and cool airplanes, ready to learn about the magic and mystery of flying?) !!!
