Consider these examples as artifacts that demonstrate my ability to clearly identify learning targets, design coherent instruction, use audio, video, and editing software, all while ensuring the target audience is a key focus. I am fully confident that I can learn and adapt to any technology platform, collaborate with any subject-matter expert, and apply adult learning theories and principals in order to design course materials to the highest quality standard for all learners.
I currently manage the development for the 4th grade district curriculum, instruction and technology for virtual learning. This requires weekly collaboration, identifying short and long-term goals and planning, design and editing, and evaluation. We primarily using the ADDIE model.

This video was one of the first I created for the distanced learning environment during COVID-19. My skills and technology skills have advanced since then, but I am proud of this starting point.
I can now use Schoology, Camtasia, and Articulate 360 with ease.

After collaboration with district colleagues and and a thorough analysis of learning needs, I designed this lesson with learning targets and student needs in mind. In particular, the addition of memes was to help captivate our young learners. While this may not be desirable for adult learners, the thinking behind the design reflects an ability to analyze, design, and develop materials for the intended target audience.
This video lesson reflects a range of curriculum and technological skills essential to ID work:
PowerPoint design and development
Video Recording and Editing
Subtitles for accessibility
Microsoft Suite (PP/OnedDrive/ SharePoint)

Malala Yousafzai
Malala Yousafzai
Although the biography of Malala Yosafzai includes some delicate subject matter, teaching and learning about this Nobel Peace Prize winner exposed learners to a prominent female role-model. There were many student-led discussions about civil rights and women's rights throughout the course of this project. Students were creating, enjoying, and thinking in an environment that was carefully structured to achieve the goals of the unit effectively.
Louis Armstrong
Louis Armstrong
These two students chose to learn about Louis Armstrong after becoming inspired by Langston Hughes poetry we had read earlier in the year. Their investigations helped them learn more about civil rights movements. The investigations and presentations of Malala Yousafzai and Louis Armstrong are just two examples of providing students with more cultural literacy.

Powerful Assessment Feedback to Students
A professional goal I've had is to develop better assessment techniques. One outcome has been the creation and implementation of digital rubrics. I also try to utilize the RISE method for providing students with meaningful feedback. We use the this model for peer feedback so students can assess their work in collaborative groups. I am 100% confident that my ability to provide feedback and assessment is what helps my learners excel, no matter their age.
