About Sarah Thomas:

I am a Regional Technology Coordinator in Prince Georges County, MD, and Affiliate Faculty at Loyola University.

While I am still passionate about best practices, such as flipped/blended learning and gamification, my passion has also expanded to helping educators connect globally. This is the rationale behind the EduMatch project, which I founded in September 2014. The project belongs to all EduMatchers, and together we have grown it to include publishing, Voxer, guest blogging, and a weekly Twitter chat/podcast.
