"I am well-known to be very picky about the PD I attend or that I recommend my teachers attend. Lissa is hands-down the very best PD presenter I have ever had the opportunity to learn from! She is a favorite and preferred presenter among my teaching staff as well. If Lissa is leading a session, my teachers and I eagerly flock to it! Lissa has partnered with me to design specialty workshops specific to the needs of my teachers and always goes above and beyond in all ways. Her services will WOW you, I promise!"

"Whenever I attend a workshop or conference session facilitated by Lissa, I always leave excited to implement the tools, tips & tricks she shares. Her presentation style is a crowd pleaser with hands-on application activities. Lissa is very knowledgeable about technology, instructional strategies, and the needs of educators! She is very organized and is easy to reach even after a training. I will continue to sign up for her workshops and know I won’t be disappointed."

"Lissa not only made me want to use new tools in my classroom, she taught us exactly HOW to use them in depth, with practical tips and lessons I could take to my classroom the next day (which I did!). By far one of the best PD sessions I’ve ever attended, especially in the EdTech field."

"Google Keep is a hidden gem, and Lissa helped me discover it and explore all its facets. Now I use it at school and at home. I have it on my laptop and phone. I love it! Lissa's Google Keep training was fun and practical, and she both provided information and gave us time to practice. Her session was the highlight of my MACUL experience!"

"I love her presentation style and her enthusiasm. She is so organized and generous with her knowledge and resources. Her presentations were all extremely well organized, engaging, easy to follow, and full of tips, tricks, and tools that we can all implement in our classrooms. I recommend her workshops to all of my colleagues. I'm a lot older than her, but I want to be her 'when I grow up.'"

"Lissa brings an amazing amount of energy and expertise each time she presents. I have been fortunate to benefit from Lissa's well-organized, informational and helpful expertise over the last 4 years. Each time that Lissa has presented at Grand River Prep, she has 'WOW'd' our staff with the ease of learning and implementing new technology tools. Lissa has always provided ongoing support after a session, giving those of us with questions timely and critical support. Lissa is arguably one of the best presenters I have had the good fortune of learning from."

"Engaging TECHniques is exactly what you will get with Lissa. She is a dynamic presenter and gets everyone engaged. She is a wealth of knowledge and shares that with everyone in her sessions. I always search her name out anytime I am at a conference because I know that I will learn new 'TECHniques' to use immediately and will always learn something new. I have more 'aha' moments in her sessions than anyone else."

"Lissa is a FANTASTIC presenter! She gave ideas and information that I could use the very next day in my classroom. The material presented was applicable to all subjects. When I returned to school, I shared all of the new ideas with teachers in different content areas and they all agree - these tools are awesome! I highly recommend Lissa! If you have not seen her present, you NEED to!"

"Lissa always brings a high-energy look at the most engaging and relevant tech tools. If she isn't showing you brand new tools - which she usually does - she is showing you relevant, new uses for existing tools. Lissa is a cut above when it comes to using technology effective and not just using it for the sake of saying you use technology in the classroom. If you can't learn something new and useful from Lissa, you must already be her!"
