I was just informed by Julie Tourney, Instructional Technology Specialist at FDLRS/Emerald Coast in Pensacola, FL, that my teaching strategies were highlighted in their “October 2016 Tip of the Month- Tools to Support Math”. I am very appreciative of her time and willingness to share my teaching strategies with her colleagues in Florida.
I mentioned to her that if FDLRS is interested in scheduling a demonstration to give me a call or send a quick email! I hope we can schedule something soon!
I would like to thank Clayton Guffey, Senior Assistive Technology Specialist at the Arizona Technology Access Program, for helping coordinate my demonstration. I am looking forward to helping many students in the Phoenix area!

I would like to thank Dawn Craft, Project Administrator and Liaison for the Arizona Association for the Education of Young Children, for offering to share my teaching strategies with the AzAEYC State Governing Board and her colleagues who would be interested in new math instructional strategies.
