Selected Works
Interactive Learning Object
Microsoft PowerPoint was used to create this interactive learning object on the electoral college. Learners are expected to learn about the electoral college and interact with maps and graphs to make predictions. This project aligns with the ISTE-C standard 2.7: Analyst. I used data within the ILO to drive instruction, and to help students learn the importance of looking at the data in order to make predictions. This is to help students in the future because it teaches them that in real-life situations, data is important and it contributes to good citizenship.

Conference Poster
This conference poster was an assignment and was meant to practice using Adobe Photoshop. The title of the poster is Process of Technology Integration for Immersive Learning and Assessments. This satisfies ISTE-C standard 1.1: empowered learner. I used a technology to demonstrate a competency in a goal.
Podcast
The podcast was made with the software Audacity. This "episode" is me discussing the use of videos in education. The point of this project was to create a 1:45 podcast discussing an idea that was related to educational technology. I have satisfied standard 2.6 of the ISTE-C standard, facilitator. With this podcast, I am modeling creative expression to communicate ideas and knowledge
Screencast
Screen-Cast-o-Matic and iMovie were both use to create this screencast on the use of TeacherMade. This was made to help people, not just teachers, use this program to create eat to edit PDFs that can be sent straight to the instructor to be graded. This goes with ISTE-C standard 2.4: Collaborator. This screencast is a collaborative tool to help other educators in a virtual setting learn about a new program. This is a great tool for educators to collaborate with others, not just the teachers in their school.
e-Learning
This project was made with Articulate Rise 360. I created a learning module on the events of World War II. This project goes along with standard 5.4: Creativity and Design. This project allowed for personal expression. World War II is a passion of mine and I was able to show that passion in this project, which can in turn teach students that everyone has passions and to always pursue and research what it is that interests them, not someone else.
Literature Review Paper
I decided to write this paper on social-emotional learning and the impact of technology because I was seeing first-hand the negative impact that technology was having on my students. My students were more irritable and the motivation was just not there. So I reviewed about 30 articles in total and reviewed 13 of them for this paper. My two research questions were: What is technology's impact on a student's SEL, and what were these technologies impact on middle school students?
