Hello everyone! Here is my summary of learning presentation. I created it using Canva, and though it was not a flawless process, it was a very good learning experience. I got to experience recording using a special microphone so that my voice could be heard over the music I chose (thanks to my wonderful Husband […]

So, after learning about open education resources (OERs), we’ve been asked to evaluate some of the platforms offering these resources to users across the internet. As I said in my previous post, I have never heard of these resources until taking this course. I still am in disbelief that people create and provide educational resources, […]
open education & our culture of sharing
When we complete our teacher training, typically we know one educational resource quite well: our curriculum. That was my first glimpse into an open educational resource (well, one that you could easily find, not one that you could “edit”). I am in my ninth year of teaching and I confidently say I have never seen […]
learning project update 3.
Hey there! Hope everyone survived the last week of October. It is a lot for us teachers, and I certainly was thinking about you all as I was home, nesting and crocheting and going to a million appointments for the baby. It has been a very productive few weeks for my learning project and I […]
activism on social media: perspectives.
I had a physical reaction to this week’s blog post prompt. I left class after our discussions and went to unpack my thoughts and here’s where I’m at with a lot of this: First off, it is challenging to be a social media activist and have the words “educator” in your profile. I have found […]

Honestly, we’ve been lucky that there hasn’t been anything up to this point closely affecting our family. But yowza, does it freak a parent right out to have your child be possibly […]
learning project update.
Well, people. It has been a very busy few weeks over here on my end. After some discussions with my obstetrician (baby doctor, for those who don’t know), we decided it would be best for me to take some time off of teaching before this baby arrives end of November. It was a decision I […]
tiktoking.
So. Because it was for class purposes, I now have a TikTok account. This is not something that I thought I would be getting anytime soon, however, upon planning my learning project, I decided this would be an appropriate social media tool to help get me started since TikTok has many crochet tutorials under hashtags […]
my learning project.
I am thrilled to be planning a learning project that is specifically for ME. One that is not for a class or my household, but for ME. This class has provided me with an excuse to think about something that I would like to learn, and I have chosen specifically to focus on something outside […]
My thoughts on social media.
My relationship with social media has been a long one, to say the least. It has not existed for my entire life, but it has existed for my formative and adult years. This all began for me with MSN Messenger, on my family’s HP desktop, located in our family room. I believe this entered our […]
