My thoughts
Welcome to my site! This site is a living document, ever evolving and intended to help gain some insight into my pedagogical and methodological practices, as well as a small window into my life.
A few things that I have tried to do:
I feel that as the uses of technology expand and the next generation of learners are becoming more adept in using all the resources available to them, it is my hope to help guide learners on how to more effectively use the tools available to them. Directing learners towards opportunities to be creative as well as using the tools and technologies to differentiate tasks and assignments for various levels of learners. This is why it is imperative to continually seek out opportunities to grow professionally with the ever-changing landscape of education.
I want to create a site that gives light to my educational philosophy, as well as demonstrating that there are ways of using the plethora of technologies to present paradigms in a non-traditional way while still maintaining relevance to how individuals learn. Instilling a practice that offers autonomy to learners in order for them to control, while guided, their own understanding and growth through iterations of concepts and theoretical implications in the process. Empowering learners to effectively showcase their accomplishments in their own context and story. I have included a few exemplars to demonstrate some of the small projects that young learners have created through their own learning process. These are available here.
What I hope with the creation of a professional web presence is to outline, through various forms of media, a window into my practices and values as an educator. Take your time and explore just some of what I have to offer.
