Digital Storytelling Resources and Scratch Animation
I’m so excited about our new section in the MOOC I have been a part of, #etmooc. As an educator that has worked at the middle school level, undergraduate and graduate level, there a few things I have found to be more empowering and exciting than introducing digital storytelling to audiences that have not experienced the pleasure before.…
New habit = finding time
I’ve joined etmooc with my PLT (principal learning team). Our learning goal this year is to better understand what 21st century skills are, why they are important and how we as administrators create and support learning environments where students need and practice these skills.…
It isn’t crabgrass after all #etmooc
This is my mother’s spider plant that has lived for years in her sunroom. Born with a green thumb, my mom gives it care, but it pretty much is self-sustaining, despite the occasional nibbles from Lily the cat.
Before starting my blog on “rhizomatic learning,” I wanted to find the perfect pic to accompany my blog. …
Creating Access: one aspiring school, two stirring stories
This post continues my exciting journey at “my” high school in Athlone, Cape Town. It is led by a (real-deal) servant-leader. He creates an atmosphere for (current and future) success. In fact he reminds me of that wise Chinese saying (from Lao Tze):
…A leader is best when people barely know that he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worst when they despise him.

etmooc: Rhizomatic learning–a worry and a question
In my previous post I talked about the notion of “rhizomatic learning” and how it might be implemented in a philosophy course. Here I bring up a worry and a question, things that came up for me after I thought about this idea further.…
#lovestory: Digital Storytelling project #1
I wanted to do something with social media – something that could have had a bot with a clever algorithm create. I decided to use Storify to create a love story based on hashtagged key words in a relationship (#lonely_#crush_#flirt_#kiss_#lust_#love_#jealously_#heartbreak_#alone)
