Bio:
I received my Masters degree in English from MSU in 2000. My areas of specialty are Modern British Literature and Composition Theory. I've taught in some capacity since 1998, including private tutoring, alternative schools, colleges in Missouri (MSU, Drury) and Colorado (Front Range Community College), private schools, and public education. I am currently working on my Ed.D in Curriculum and Instruction through Lindenwood. Before that I received my Bachelors of Science in English from Drury University. I am passionate about student centered learning and changing the way we "do school." I'm even MORE passionate about making teachers feel supported and successful in the classroom.

This is a nightmare for Chromebook users trying to take quizzes. NIGHTMARE. @BethCrook is right--kids get kicked out when they try. Please fix this!

Agreed! The ability to create quiz questions over a PDF that opens within the quiz mimics high stakes testing, and allows students to offer evidence from the text as support for their ideas.
