Blogging About My Blog

It's time to recap a semester of blogging. I'll try not to cry.

Creativity: Living Multimodally 

This was a fun brain spasm. The prompt sent me into the long-term memory, where I met a nostalgic montage of past friendships (they moved away...tears) and one iconic music video. I give much credit to my camera roll for this...those photos are iconic. 

Professionalism: Chaotic Writing

Here, I approached the theoretical, academic concept called "writing process" with a fun little blogger voice. It meshed well, I think. Professionalism doesn't mean formal, rather the content's application to teaching and overall depth of thought...I did learn a lot from this reading, about myself and others. 

Civic Engagement: We Are Water Protectors

I'm not sure that you can view my video -- but if the link works, then this is my only post with a video directly attached! We love that. We also love that the video is homemade, culturally relevant, and designed for real-world use. Throw that thing on Reels, I bet it'll get millions of views. 

Multimodal Design: Tutor Mashup

The Jamboard introduction was awesome, and I'm glad I enjoyed the fullness of the software before it's departure (more tears). The hyperlink-per-word ratio stands above it's blog-peers...much of my (professional) digital footprint was available for students. Pictures were my favorite part, though. Look closely -- this blog includes my favorite study bible, the objective best asian cuisine in the midwest, and the worst high school homecoming photo ever taken.

The People's Choice: Jordan Calloway

I didn't look intently at every blog, but when Jordan shared his Canva project with the class I enjoyed the design style. I kept digging, finding another piece, "Reflections And Thoughts Of Our Growing Role." The writing wasn't for anyone, rather he used the assignment to authentically process his learning. He made this space his own; I appreciate that...it's worthwhile to read and consider. Shoutout to Jordan for his work this semester.
