Summary of Learning: Portals & Pages: Choose Your Own Adventure
For my final learning project, I wanted to create something that reflected the creative freedom of this course and the personal journey I’ve taken writing a children’s storybook. A “Choose Your Own Adventure” format felt very on theme. From the open-ended blog structure, the non-linear learning, and my learning project explorations, the interactive narrative format worked perfectly.
I created this project using Genially, a platform I always highly recommend and then sort of professionally forget about (for a while). It’s full of super creative (and mostly free) features for building interactive stories (like escape rooms), lessons, games, and presentations. Definitely give it a try if you haven’t before!
Inside my Genially narrative, you’ll find “portals” on topics like:
- Social media, digital literacy and citizenship, social media activism
- Remix culture and OERs
- AI teaching tools and ethical dilemmas
- My vulnerability with writing and choosing a traditional publishing path
- A side quest with some of my classmates’ awesome inspired journeys
While my video doesn’t provide the full storyline due to time constraints, I hope you’ll click through and enjoy at your leisure. Each portal contains links to articles, videos, digitals tools, and resources I hope you find useful beyond this class.

It really does take a village to teach me…and complete my learning summaries! Shout-out to…

- Screencastify for capturing the video portion
- Wevideo for syncing my narration while the video played
- Youtube for hosting the final copy
Most especially, I want to thank Dr. Katia. This was my last amazing class with her before I complete my Capstone Synthesis next! And to all of you – my fellow dreamers, writers, creators, classmates. Thank you all for the conversations, feedback, resources, and inspiration. Good luck on your unique learning paths. May they be messy nonlinear, creative, and whatever you need them to be!
Kim, this is so well done and so unique! I feel like you would love this website : https://feralatlas.org/
Kimberly,
This was such a cool idea!! I loved being able to see all your learning and how you combined your learning project and your summary together. Great job!
Hi Kelsey and Christina, thanks for checking it out. I had a lot of fun building it. And Christina, additional thanks for the site recommendations. What an interesting (and slightly bizarre) resource. I spent some time looking at the ecological impact of Cats – will check out more during Easter break. I had to know what they used to curate this site – a custom frontend with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Hmmm, definitely beyond my scope. Genially made things much easier for my skill level!
