Critical Digital Pedagogy is not new?!

We have been reading Critical Digital Pedagogy: A Collection by Morris, Stommel, and Friend out loud and to the kids for extra impact. I had honestly never realized what those three words, in combination, meant until reading a couple of essays in the collection. I nod often, agree, and stop to mention: why didn’t we […]

Carlos… speaks… slowly?

I finally did it. I watched our recorded presentation for the 2020 Lily Conference today. I recorded it in November in a single Zoom session with Deb and didn’t look back. I’ve been watching one or two recorded sessions each night and admiring the beautiful slides and thoughtful interactions presenters incorporated. I wondered: how long […]

The Delftia Citizen Science group of undergraduates launched an entirely online collaborative research, annotation, and public science initiative last fall.

Service Learning During a Pandemic

Tonight I watched a Lilly Conference presentation by Dr. Mary Marshall from Cal State Long Beach on incorporating service learning elements into courses. This is a topic I’ve been thinking about but know very little… yet have been hearing great examples in podcasts. Course-based service learning, as mentioned by Dr. Marshall, helps participants increase personal […]

Reflecting on Teaching in the Fall of 2020

The year is coming to an end. The summer and fall were challenging and… different. While I really miss the lab and energy from in-person teaching, I have honestly enjoyed learning about teaching online. The shift to remote instruction forced me to rethink the main goals and learning objectives of two courses I routinely teach: […]

Digital Storytelling

I want to try Digital Storytelling activity suggestions from the K. Patricia Cross Academy: https://kpcrossacademy.org/techniques/digital-story/ While I have used video tutorials and multimedia assignments, I haven’t intentionally incorporated the individual connections mentioned in the activity description and resources. There are numerous suggestions including a step-by-step guide, example rubrics and assessment, and tips for online implementation. […]
