Put your hands together for… the final post! (and some ASL)
The semester is pretty much done, and so are the updates for my learning project! To be honest, when I read in the syllabus that I would be required to do a weekly learning project (and post publicly about it), I was less than thrilled. That being said, I can definitely notice a difference in…
Connecting, Contributing, and Commenting
“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” Benjamin Franklin When I enrolled in this EDTC 300 course, I expected to learn about all the different tools we can use in the classroom, how to use them, and why they support our student’s learning. What I didn’t expect…
ASL: There’s an App for That!
“There’s a mobile app for almost anything you may want too do, any situation you confront.” Jacqueline Leo In this latest installment of my ASL journey, I’ve decided to take a break from StackSkills (nothing against you Michael, I still cherish your excitement over the sign for ‘purse’).

This BuzzFeed Quiz Tells You What Kind of Fake News You Are – Click Here!
“Obviously, every child should be given the best possible opportunity to acquire literacy skills.” Hugh Mackay Well, did it work? Did the title get you? Probably not, and that’s okay – I haven’t taken a BuzzFeed quiz a very long time, and even if there were such a quiz, I don’t think I’d take it!…

“Don’t use social media to impress people; use it to impact people.” Dave Willis I’m sure I’m not alone in randomly thinking “Hey, I wonder what might come up if I googled myself right now”. The list is usually pretty similar each and every time, and I never put too much thought into it. But…

Zencastr, Sentences, Numbers (oh my!)
Hello everyone! This week’s blog post will be a little different, as I am reviewing a tech resource called Zencastr. I will include a bunch of screenshots below in a gallery for you to look through as well. So what is Zencastr? From the Zencastr blog, they wrote “Zencastr is a tool for quality, conscious…
Does a bump in the road ruin the journey?
“Our patience will achieve more than our force” Edmund Burke This blog post may wax a bit philosophical, and for that (and for readers who are not interested in that), I do apologize.
