Modeling resources and tools for colleagues, teachers, and preservice teachers is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job. As a professor, I teach a class focused on acquiring knowledge and skills of digital tools and connect them to pedagogical decisions teachers make in real life. I continue to model the identification, exploration, curation and adoption of new digital resources through leading professional development and presenting at various conferences. A few conferences, where I have shared new digital resources, are listed on the website. An extensive list of presentations can be found on pages 4-10 on my curriculum vitae artifact.

In 2017, I participated in a facebook webinar that presented Makey Makeys and a new product that was under development called UnRuly Splats.
In 2017, I participated in a facebook webinar that presented Makey Makeys and a new product that was under development called UnRuly Splats.
After this webinar, I was added to their Kick Starter campaign and connected with the developers. As they developed the products, I was able to learn about and test the product. Before they became commercially available, I was able to share these tools that are built for connecting coding and physical activity with the Arkansas Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance Conference 2018. The image below shows me with some volunteers from the presentation along with the prototype Splats.

The images below highlight my modeling of technology resources to my class and at various conferences.

As a part of the ISTE certification process I also created the blog post below. It highlights one particularly powerful tool for student expression. I use this post in my class to support future teachers' adoption of new digital tools for student expression. I'm continually learning about new resources and sharing them with preservice teacher, inservice teachers, and colleagues as we all work to meet the needs of digital age learners.
