Here is the presentation that Chris Bigenho, Jason Kern and I gave at NAIS 2013. We had a packed house and some great questions. It was so much fun! I have a lot to post about the conference… need to catch my breath first. More to follow soon!

I Flipped!
I had read about “reverse teaching” and the “flipped classroom” a while ago. Being an algebra teacher myself, Karl Fisch is one of those teachers I admire and love to learn from. Check out Fisch Algebra 2010-11 and you will understand why. And last week, after some discussion on Twitter about it, it piqued […]
Adding accountability
Although last year’s Algebra 1B review library was successful for students as they created their own screencasts using Educreations, I felt that there was something missing. Sure, a few high achieving students appreciated having the videos to brush up on skills before the exam; the rest didn’t really engage. I noticed the same thing with my own flipped […]
Hamden Hall’s #HourofCode
There is nothing like the expression on a students face when they solve a problem or achieve a goal they have been striving for. This is one of the many reasons I was very excited and proud that Hamden Hall participated in Computer Science Education Week’s Hour of Code! I presented this video at a […]
Some final thoughts on #NAISAC13… FINALLY!
We are officially on Spring Break now. Phew. This blog post has been on my “to-do” list for more than two weeks. It’s the first time that I can exhale. Aside from the conference itself being an amazing professional development experience filled with inspiring speakers and terrific workshops, NAISAC13 afforded me the opportunity to achieve a […]
#NAISAC13 here I come!

My Dilemma at #EdCampCT
Last Friday, I attended my third EdCamp. Having truly enjoyed the first two #edcampNYC events I attended, I was really looking forward to this one. And, on the train heading home from #edcampnyc, I set a goal for myself that I would “give back” and do a presentation at the next edcamp I attended. D-day was […]
CAIS Academic Tech Retreat Never Disappoints!
For the past seven years, amidst the craziness and mad dash to the end of the school year, there is a bright light. This light is called the CAIS Academic Tech Retreat and it is the most amazing, relaxing, and rejuvenating 2 days for me, both professionally and personally. It is held at the Trinity Conference Center in West […]
A Day of Learning
Our jam-packed professional development day yesterday began with a full school faculty meeting where our Head of School gave an update on various areas of the school. It was great to hear how the admissions season is progressing and to hear the positive college news coming in from our seniors. The next part of our […]
A Geometric Adventure
Last Friday, a day designated for test review, I decided to liven things up a bit. Instead of the traditional questions and answers in the classroom, I brought our class outside to the courtyard for a geometric scavenger hunt. (This is a class of 5 students so I thought it would be very easy to […]
