By Sarah Butrymowicz When Portland, Ore., elementary school teacher Sacha Luria decided last fall to try out a new education strategy called “flipping the classroom,” she faced a big obstacle.

Creating an Eye-Catching Lesson I know, I know, this one may not seem so straight-forward. To serif or sans serif, that is the question here. What are sans serif fonts?
