This is what I would like someone to say about me if they were to introduce me before I delivered a presentation! I’d like them to say that “Chip is a mathematics teacher who is still excited to be in the classroom after 30 years of teaching; still  interested in teaching about the intrinsic beauty of mathematics as well as its applications. He taught prealgebra through post-AP courses to both middle and high school students; he is an AP Reader for Calculus, worked in SAT/GRE test development with ETS, worked with ISTE on Project ReimaginED; but, more than all of those, his passion is to create learning environments and authentic learning experiences for his students. The job is never done, however, because he is continually worried that despite all of the possibilities that technology use and philosophical changes bring to the classroom, essentially the game is still the same. While he loves his job and enjoys portraying a Revolutionary War soldier as a hobby, his most important roles are as a husband and father of his two sons.” That would be cool!

I started this blog as a way to keep track of my thoughts and ideas that came from my own learning experiences. My topics will be about teaching, technology, mathematics, learning, and combinations of all of those!
