My Tutorials


My goal this year was to provide professional development to teachers that was engaging, flexible, and differentiated to meet their needs.  To reach these objectives, I developed a series of  technology integration drop-in sessions focused on instructional pedagogy first, with technology as the tool to support the instructional objectives.  I sent out the invitation through Signup Genius and immediately had favorable responses.  Unfortunately, several teachers contacted me because they were interested in attending; however, the sessions conflicted with their schedules. After brainstorming and researching, a colleague on Twitter introduced me to Sophia.  I immediately recognized that I could provide professional development in the model of Flipped Classroom.  I continued to provide the drop-in sessions for teachers, and also developed virtual tutorials that mirrored that learning.  This solution supported professional development in an unexpected way; it allowed teachers who benefited from revisiting their learning to return to the session as many times as they needed after attending the drop-in.  It also allowed me to revamp professional development blocks into interactive coaching sessions.  I welcome you to access these tutorials to help support your learning. If you find these tutorials useful, and have ideas for future sessions of interest, please let me know!  I will continue to build, add, and revise tutorials.      What are teachers saying about flipped lessons?  Check out this Sophia Infographic based on recent survey data!
