I attended Tisha's Family & Consumer Science Workshop this past summer at Montana State University-Bozeman. What I love about her workshop is walking away with technology tools and inspiring ideas you can implement in your classroom immediately. Tisha has the biggest and most genuine compassionate heart to help you. She deeply cares about the relationships you are building with your students. Her professionalism, acumen, and joy ignite learning and make the most memorable experiences. Her innovative games engage learners through problem solving prompts, resulting in creative collaboration and higher level thinking. Tisha' s enthusiastic energy is contagious! I believe she can revolutionize traditional minded teachers through tech-rrific teaching techniques.

Tisha Richmond is a penultimate example of a burned out educator turn on-fire educator, speaker, and author. She took the time to investigate how technology and meaningful pedagogy intersects and then applied that knowledge to her classroom. She shared her successes and forward falls with her ever-expanding professional learning network on multiple platforms and through various mediums. This also spurred her to write a book, Making Learning Magical in which she outlines her new and improved educational philosophy. Tisha is a passionate speaker who is always engaging her audience on a stage or one-on-one.
