How Not to be a Resource Dragon: Teaching and the Culture of Sharing
                We were lucky enough to have a guest speaker this last week: Alan Levine, who is a/the Director of Community Engagement for Open Education Global (OEGlobal). There were so many highlights from his discussion, many around the idea of open access and open educational resources, but the thing that...

         M.P. Update #4: Not Distracted, Just Side Questing
                As a recap from my previous post, I was slowly starting to go back to TinkerCAD, and have been working on my tavern-style book-dividing inserts (better name incoming…). And I was hoping to look creating curves and curls, as I’ve got the block shapes down, but I got sidetracked....

         The OER Movement
                We started to explore some open educational resources (OERs) during class last week, though this is hardly the first time that I have heard the term, or encountered some of these platforms. Many of the resources that we were introduced were new to me – not really surprising –...

         M.P. Update #3 – Oops! I did it again…
                I am crazy late getting this post together, because it has been two of those weeks. You know the ones – where life and work and exhaustion all collide, and it’s a beautiful disaster.

         Navigating the Digital World
                This week’s prompt came with a few different options, all relating to the current state of digital culture in relation to education. What a loaded issue right now. As a high school ELA teacher, I have to tackle the third prompt provided: With the rapid information sharing, misinformation, and...

         M.P. Update #2 – Learning the Ropes
                I have not eased into this particular skill at all, which has been both fun and a little chaotic. And I realized there a couple of things I kind of skipped over in my last post, so I’ll cover some of those here as well. Beginner Software and Ongoing...
