I have flipped my classroom for the last 5 years, so I can help you with everything that comes to flipping, from my asynchronous classroom to my weekly virtual study sessions using the LimnuApp and Today's Meet. Just ask. I would LOVE to help you learn how to flip, or learn from you on what you do when you flip!

I use digital formative assessments with my classes, and can help you find one that works with your classroom. I love to explore Google, and Google apps and Chrome Extensions. I really tackle just about anything technology related, and if I can't help, I will always find someone that can, and learn right along with you.

I strongly believe that the classroom has to have a positive culture, and love to help teachers find ways to celebrate and elevate their students and their colleagues.
