In our final three weeks of AP Prep, I give students a variety of resources to study from. Though I still give some full class assignments during this time, I want to make sure that each student is studying based on their specific needs. MORE
I created a series of tips to share with teachers at my school that I wanted to share out here on my blog. These tips are related to using Pear Deck Takeaways and how to review individual student work (this requires that you have a Premium Pear Deck account). MORE

As I wrapped up Day 1 of my Email Challenge last night, I took a moment to jot down some thoughts… I realized just how much my email drives what I choose to do next on a daily basis. Even though I make a to-do list at the end of each day to guide what I will do the next day, I rarely get to looking at it until after school. I spend so much of my day in reactive mode – jumping around from place to place and activity to activity – driven by what my inbox tells me to do. MORE
I am excited to be at the FETC Conference this week. There are so many awesome friends I’m looking forward to catching up with and the expo hall is always amazing – I know I’ll learn so much from the vendors! While at FETC, I’ll have two sharing opportunities. MORE
I wanted to share a video I created where I walk through two assignments that I had my AP Calculus AB students do this past year, both using Sutori. MORE
If you haven’t used Sutori before, I hope that this post will inspire you to check it out. Sutroi looks like a vertical timeline tool, but I think of it more as a tool to tell a visual story. MORE
It’s year two of teaching a purely online section of AP Calculus AB for me. Last year, I focused a lot of energy on finding ways for the class to collaboratively work through problems – both orally (using Google Hangouts) and through written chat (using Slack). MORE

These past couple months, I have been playing with both Read&Write and EquatIO , by TextHelp , to brainstorm ways we can be using these tools to help all students learn. Currently, we are using Read&Write mainly for students with learning accommodations. But I feel that we are missing out on an opportunity to help all students engage with their reading and writing using the toolbar. And I’ve been blown away by some of the developments to EquatIO in these past couple months!! MORE
