GDIT 706 Developing a Learning Environment Using IT
Research: Applying TPACK to Science Education
When working in the field of education, one must be able to research and analyze different aspects of the learning process. When learning about TPACK, I was able to look back on the science education I had received through my college career. It was interesting to read about the practices that I had experienced first hand and realize why they worked (or weren't so effective). Research is a discovery process that should make the researcher ask questions as well as answer them,

GDIT 711 Distance Learning Global Leadership
Document: Presentation Reflection
In this class I created a presentation about using the game Portal 2 in the classroom. This is a topic that has been the focus of my research for the past four years. However, gaming has been an interest of mine since I was a little girl. I examined my educational journey in this reflection, not only focusing on me as a teacher, but as myself as a learner. I love storytelling, so documents like this come very easy to me. I always tell my students that it is good to "know thyself." This reflection is an example of me doing just that.

GPSY 612 Social Psych
Presentation: Classic and Contemporary Readings in Social Psychology
The topic of psychology is one that I am extremely interested in. This class had us take specific examples in psychology and reflect upon them in a presentation. The chapters I was assigned had to do with memory and eye-witness testimony as well as the memory and the misinformation effect. These chapters made me think about what makes things memorable and how our brain adjusts to forgetting important issues. Even though the topics were not directly related to the classroom, a lot of the concepts are applicable to teaching. Reflecting upon those concepts helped me to make those connections that I now apply in my classroom every day.
