Creativity is an illusive idea, most commonly it is thought of as something that you have or you don’t. However, as humans, we all have the inate ability to learn and conceive, remember and imagine. These qualities all make up a creative mind, it’s simply a matter of perspective.

If you visited previous blog posts of mine, you know that I have discussed CARP before, you can see my explanation on my CARP Blog Post. I really took to this idea in design and reference it all the time in my career and personal life. I’m constantly looking …
Mother Natures cure for stress, the natural Zen Garden. I could read stories by this all day long!
When I reflect back over this course it does feel like a blur. Perhaps, this is due to the fact that I had to take a break in order to complete …
The content of this week was important, relevant, and slightly disturbing. The realization that we have so far to go when it comes to having real conversations around privilege, power, and whiteness is unnerving. The readings brought me back to a time where my job was to learn, discuss, challenge, …
I wanted to come back to my original inspiration for choosing my theme for this course, Dr. Brene Brown. I was delighted when I found this short animated film that overlays one of her talks.
What types of “involvement” – and by the author/creator(s), participant(s), and/or audience – are…

I have always been interested in narrative and the power of telling a story. Storytelling has passed down family tales, folklore, connection, and meaning making. There is also great responsibility in the stories we tell the public and ourselves. As Kress asserts, “The world told is different from the world …

Returning to the course a year after starting my work brought a mixed bag of challenges. Taking time to figure out where I left off required relearning some of the simple things like posting in WordPress, creating links, and remembering the flow of the course were required. When I opened …
Calibrate your voice. This just represents the “push” mentality of creating spaces for learning. “We,” those who have power will give you what you need in order to learn and “we” will attempt to control what is allowed into a space. Calibrate your voice… this just instantly did not sit …
The journey began a year ago. I signed up to take INTE 5340 and chose the focal theme of vulnerability. I did not know it would become a person theme or that my life was about to be broken open- wide open.
Brene Brown wrote, “Vulnerability sounds like truth and …
Hi All,
For my masters class on hosting live events we were asked to host two webinars. The first would be a short, 15 minute webinar where we tried hosting out for a change. You can view my webinar here!
The second was a team webinar that needed to be …
If you’ve ever done a presentation you have been exposed to the principles of CARP-Contrast, Alignment, Repetition and Proximity. These keep whatever you are presenting organized and easy to read.
Contrast- relative size or color to convey meaning or importance
Alignment- keeping text, corners or grids on the same plane…
I’m opposed to the labels, name-calling and emotional arrows. I’ve been countering the president’s assault on my values with constructive activism. This is mainly a blog about action and following my personal quest for good conscience actions.

I’m lazy. I don’t want to fight. But if I don’t fight, then someone else is working to remold my reality.
I need to stand up to injustice and distinguish what’s not right. I might not be able to change someone else’s behavior, but I can try to have a …
I know that I am more on the conservative side of public information and privacy. I know, from personal experience doing my fair share of investigating other people via social media, that a lot can be found on websites that people don’t realize are out there.
My personal pages have …
True innovation is rarely the result of new technology. No, true innovation comes from an insightful application of new technology.
This is the reality facing innovators in augmented reality (AR).
Mixed-reality technologies could have as great an impact on how we operate within society as social media had, perhaps even …
My mom used to tell me a story about a professor she had in college. He told his class that it was proven that college students only retain about 80% of the material taught in his class, so he said, I will be teaching 120% of the material so that …
My second hot topic I from my personal facebook. I have to say, I find it REALLY creepy that I always have ads for things I have done or previously purchased. I know that there is something to do with “cookies” and search history- but I swear sometimes facebook reads …
Hello World!
Please excuse my absence, my life has dissolved into utter chaos- aka the school year began and I still feel like I’m trying to catch up. I’m taking my master’s classes, taking Gifted Courses, teaching full time and piloting a new co-teaching program while managing 47 kids! It’s …
First, I really like this assignment. I am always looking for new tools, but don’t often get the time to check them out myself, so thanks for forcing me!
I chose “Quora” https://www.quora.com/# (Links to an external site.)
I looked though a couple of the sites you sent, but this …
First of all, may I start with the fact that it is Sunday night and I am filled with a plethora of emotions! My boyfriend was SUPPOSED to be home tonight, he travels for work. He had a plane scheduled and then had to cancel it for what looks like …
My final project is a series of videos that goes with Jacqui Zaralban’s videos, as we are co teaching this coming year.
These videos are meant to be fun introductions to the things that we plan to cover in the first week of school. We will give a brief introduction …
My final reflections on the summer ILT5340 Digital Storytelling course taught by Professor Remi Holden.
Me as a learner: This course brought to light some things about myself as a learner. I am a hard worker and I don’t shy away from challenges, yet I find I have to meet …
I have had some serious fun in this course. For my final portfolio, I used MS Office Mix to create a narrated video. Hopefully, it’s not too long but contains some of my thinking from a journal I kept during the summer to help me organize my thoughts week by …
WOW! I said this in my final portfolio and I will say it again, I can not believe what a journey this has been. I am so grateful for the learning opportunities that have been presented to me. I have learned so much about myself as a learner, a teacher, …
