This is a Youtube video that provides an overview of the ALS 150 Website. It was designed for students to view on the first day of the course in order to understand the structure and components. Were this video to be used in a classroom in the future, it would be captioned so that all learners have the opportunity to understand how the website is to be used.
This project meets ISTE Standard 6b: It helps to manage the use of technology and student learning strategies in the digital platform of the course website.
This is a website for a first-year academic reading course for international university students. This website provides all of the scaffolding for course learning objectives. It was piloted in Spring 2016 at Oregon State University.
This project meets ISTE Standard 3b: It establishes a learning culture that promotes curiosity ("Ask the next question") and critical examination of online resources through the research unit. It fosters digital literacy and media fluency through the use of various methods of delivery.
This project meets ISTE Standard 5b: The entire website is a design of authentic learning activities that align with content area standards (reading comprehension and text annotation) and use digital tools and resources to maximize active, deep learning.
This is a Moodle shell that I developed for use by middle school learners as an adaptation of a face-to-face course, or a tool to be used in addition to a class that can only meet in person twice a week for an hour. Unfortunately, because it is hosted by Western Oregon University Moodle, only users with WOU logins can access it.
This project meets ISTE Standard 7a: If there is not enough in-class time to learn and practice Spanish, this course provides alternative ways for students to demonstrate competency and reflect on their learning using technology.
This project also meets ISTE Standard 6a: It helps to foster a culture where students take ownership of their learning goals and outcomes in both independent study and group settings in class.
This is a one-page preview document of a larger guide to a career pathway in the tech sector. based off 106 unique interviews that a Lane County high school guidance counselor performed during the Summer of 2017, we created a summary of the tech industry now and the prospective jobs they may one day be qualified for.
This project meets ISTE Standard 2a: Through engagement with stakeholders, we have created this pathway document in order to shape, advance and accelerate a shared vision for empowered learning with technology.
This project also meets ISTE Standard 1c: Counselors and teachers will be able to stay current with research that supports improved student learning outcomes, including findings from the learning sciences and the tech field itself

This is a screencast for students to learn five conversation questions in Spanish, as part of a series of lessons. Students also have a guiding worksheet to help remind them of the questions they have to ask for a conversation exercise, with symbols consistent with the screencast.
This project meets ISTE Standard 5b: I have designed authentic learning activities that align with content area standards and use digital tools and resources to maximize active, deep learning--students remain immersed in the Spanish language.
This project also meets ISTE Standard 7b: Students may record and submit their conversations, using technology to implement both formative and summative assessments that accommodate learner needs, provide timely feedback to students.
Oregon has a problem with its students becoming chronically absent over the course of their K-12 schooling, which has direct implications for graduation rates as well as test performance.
One community near Eugene, Oakridge, had an innovative approach to helping solve this problem--they involved the whole community in an initiative to "Strive for Five," meaning less than five days of absence over the year.
I edited this video for use in meetings with administrators who are also needing to combat chronic absenteeism.
This project fulfills ISTE Standard 2a by helping to advance and accelerate a shared vision among educators and the broader community for helping students to attend class.
After our first successful "Experience Oregon" industry tour, we wanted to showcase the positive experience that students from five different Lane County High Schools had in order to encourage participation from other companies, and industries, in the future.
I created this video slideshow using images that my colleague Athena Delene took during the tour.
This project fulfills ISTE Standard 2a by helping to advance and accelerate a shared vision among educators and the broader community for connecting students to the local tech sector. As our local director of the Technology Association of Oregon said, "You can't walk through a door you can't see."
