Welcome

Welcome to Ed-Pro Consultants. We are a team of professional teachers with over 85 years of combined teaching experience. We have conducted over 25 presentations over the course of the past two years on a variety of topics of interest to the innovative teacher. We "practice what we preach," as our presentations have included Promethean Board Training, Vocabulary Building, Literacy, Setting up Skype Talks, Making Videos and Movies, Flipping the Classroom, as well as Using a Green Screen to Produce Fabulous Virtual Field Trips- all topics we have actively utilized in our classrooms during the last two school years. Check the page on "Upcoming Presentations" for currently scheduled events. We look forward to serving you.

Upcoming presentation at the AATSP Conference in Panama City, Panama July 7-11, 2014. Look for my presentation on "A Cross-Curricular Common Core Project: myplate.gov in the Spanish Classroom."

What others are saying about our sessions:
Hello Ruth,
Just a brief note to let you know that I  enjoyed your seminar the other day.
I appreciate your sharing your tech  savvy with all of us!   At the AATSP Conference in July, I learned of Duolingo. 
The app is so good that I plan to use it with my Spanish III class for review  and as a supplement to their lessons.  
I even have my school principal using  Duolingo!

Can you recommend another free app for my Spanish II students,
that would deal more with pronunciation and basic practice?   I would like to
have something for them to work on for the BYOD days that I am going to
implement.

Thanks for your assistance, and best of luck in the new
school year!

Best,
Christine
