Luke Tevebaugh is an extraordinary eConsultant for eInstruction. Luke lives in southern Florida and is responsible for leading hundreds of teachers to CPS in Florida and many other states. In addition Luke helped the U.S. Navy in an extensive evaluation of many Classroom Response Systems (CPS, Quizdom, HITT, PRS). This evaluation resulted in the Navy standardizing on CPS.
Luke’s web site, www.TevebaughGroup.com, has a number of excellent resources including many more video tutorials for CPS. Luke has been extraordinarily helpful to me and many other eCs and we are all grateful to him.
