My journey of learning ASL is far from over, but as our course comes to an end, so does my official learning project. I chose to learn ASL in an attempt to teach my daughter more signs to be able to communicate with her more effectively. We are now at the toddler stage where she

The Learning of Others
Throughout this semester it has been so great to learn from other students in the course. This class has been the best online course I have experienced so far in terms of connection with other students. The greatest way I have tried to contribute to this course is within our zoom meetings. I have tried
Summary of Learning
To best show my summary of learning I decided to film a video! Right on par with my busy schedule, the video was filmed in the car on my way to pick my daughter up from grandmas in between my 12 hour night shifts! I really loved how this class was able to be flexible while
Jumping on the Magic School bus

How Young Does Our Digital Footprint Begin?
Continuing off our conversation of last week I really got to thinking, “How does our digital footprint begin? When does it begin?” This got me thinking about my year and a half old daughter and what her digital footprint may already look! I started by doing a quick google search of her name, which came

You Are My Sunshine
When putting my daughter to sleep I find I always come back to the lullaby “You are my Sunshine.” So when I decided this week I wanted to learn a song in ASL, this was the most obvious choice. This learning experience has been heavily inspired by my daughter Gracyn and so it felt only
