The idea that the pandemic was scary to just about everyone. No one knew what to do. All we knew was that we had to stay home. It is never fun when you are stuck in the house. Introverts through the pandemic, however, may have had an inherently different take on this. They were in […]
In this new world that we are living in, we are evolving and finding new ways for us to do things. WIth this wave of online instruction in classrooms at all levels, we are seeing an emergence in all new types of technology. Some of it is very useful and important to the classroom setting. […]
I am going to be honest, I am very much looking forward to this week’s class to discuss the “Catching our Breath” reading, because I just did not understand it all that much. I get that we are talking about race, but adding in the technology angle muddied things a little bit for me. Just […]
The content for this week was interesting on so many different levels. First, I want to touch on the TED talk regarding algorithms and Bias.

The reading for this week about the “zoom gaze” was the most relatable thing I have read in the past 12 months. For those that were going through the transition from in-person classes to the since adopted online format know I have been hyper critical and resistant to it from it’s genesis. I could have […]
The reading for this week was very informative on the dynamics involved in equity in our new world of living in a virtual world. It was eye opening to see how many potential barriers can get in the way of offering a fair opportunity for people from all different kinds of backgrounds and situations to […]
This reading was a great way for us to begin our journey. It, in my opinion, was able to tackle some major concepts early and I know we are going to do a much deeper dive off of this and go on some welcome tangents in order for us to see exactly how these things […]
