It is a virtual event where all of the students, regardless of their cohort year, share their research journeys. Colleagues connect over similar active research studies andContinue reading “Doctoral Research Conference ’22”

The Birth of a Podcast
Last night I was listening to a great Podcast (ok, honestly it was called Drama Queens and centered around former characters of One Tree Hill watching the episodes again). As I was listening, I took a look at my office with the microphone I had bought on Amazon’s Prime Day and thought, “I could doContinue reading “The Birth of a Podcast”
Reflecting on the iLRN 2021 Virtual Conference
Earlier this month I had the opportunity to present at the 7th Annual International Conference of the Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN) 2021 on my dissertation research. The entire conference took place in a virtual world hosted by Virbela. Participants were able to create an avatar, walk around the virtual conference world, attend sessions, talkContinue reading “Reflecting on the iLRN 2021 Virtual Conference”
Learning HTML
This past week, I have embarked on the adventure of learning HTML. In my new career, building websites is a must. And if you do not have a simple understanding of HTML, it is tough to fix minor problems with formatting. During my first week, I realized that I used to play around with HTMLContinue reading “Learning HTML”
Formative Assessments and Technology
Formative Assessments. That sure is a buzz word in the world of education today. How can we check to see if our students are understanding what we want them to learn? How can we make sure that they pass those state tests? How can we make sure that they are proficient and have mastered whatContinue reading “Formative Assessments and Technology”

Mid-terms are in two weeks for my students and I am two weeks ahead of my fellow co-worker. So, I decided to implement aContinue reading “New Year, New Project”
Personal Led PD
This week I am very excited, (and nervous, and humbled, etc). In a previous post, I mentioned that my school is all about the bottom 30. My idea was to take previous standards and fit them in on Fridays. My students and I call it Fabulous Fun Fridays. Each group is working on something differentContinue reading “Personal Led PD”
Reactants and Products
Last month, my students were focusing on Physical and Chemical Properties and Changes. During this unit, students learned about reactants and products. During one lesson, students were attempting to discover how the amount of reactants affects the number of products. To do this, they combined baking soda and vinegar in different amounts to find theContinue reading “Reactants and Products”
Data, Data, Data
As a teacher, data is always at the forefront. How do you use data? What does the data say? Is that proven by data? Personally, I love data. It gives me reassurance that something I have implemented is working. Data helps me see where my students are struggling so I don’t waste my own timeContinue reading “Data, Data, Data”
Halloween 2014
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays! I love the opportunity to dress up as someone else, and have fun lesson plans with my students, plus there is chocolate. This year, I decided to go as Miss America. Mystudents loved it and I heard “Hi Miss America” and “Do you want World Peace?”Continue reading “Halloween 2014”
