Hi Everyone,

I'm not completely finished with my multimedia project. I would have like to add pictures at the beginning but I didn't have the thought until the last minute...So, the beginning is quite text heavy and perhaps dense.

The project is in hypertextopia because it was easier for me to collect the info there than on tumblr. However, the link to t… Continue

The looping process was really beneficial. Like many others, I'm accustomed to writing when inspired. This tired morning, from 6:30-9:30am, I felt very little inspiration and motivation to write.

When I'm looking for an article on a certain topic the day before a lesson, I'll find a useful one easily. My brain i… Continue

I would like to use technology as a way to conduct research, engage the students, create an intellectual community, build on ideas, and take action. Access to computers seems to be the biggest practical and mental barrier at this point. There are ways to use the computers in our building but many of them are no longer reliable, making me feel like my ideas won't come to fruition. However, motivation to find working computers has been inspired by the textbook we've been studying in this class, wh… Continue
