Before my first year of classes after receiving my Associates of Art in Education I thought I had a pretty good mindset on what I believed education to be. I had written a theory paper on what education looked liked to me and how my future classroom would operate. I have since then changed almost … More I am an Innovator…
I chose to create a short digital story about what learning means to me. When I first started this project I didn’t know what to use to create the digital story. I thought about using PowerPoint, but decided that it didn’t offer everything I wanted to include in my story. I came across the article … More My Digital Story of Learning
My past week of online media was filled with local news websites, email checks, Facebook and Pinterest scrolling, stitch fix tracking, sign language learning and hotel websites.

Unfortunately their are no set laws or rules about how to act and what to share online. This can mean trouble for … More Digital Citizenship
The last time I googled myself I was in High School. All that came up during that search was athletic standings that had been published in the local newspaper. I haven’t thought much about my online identity since then and was very surprised by all the results I found during this search. This was the … More You’ve been Googled.
I think in my entire 22 years of existence I have listened to maybe 3 podcasts, all of which were required for a high school class. None of these caught my attention or challenged my thinking, in fact they gave me a bad taste for podcasts in general. This is probably why I haven’t been … More Podcasts and Digital Storytelling
