My role includes supporting teachers' and students' ability to find and collect resources. I help students check out textbooks, novels, and how to conduct digital research. I love to work in teachers' classrooms, helping their students learn to research or create awesome projects reflecting their learning using various platforms. When I teach lessons, I also demonstrate accessibility tools that help students access learning materials and help them communicate more effectively. I am proud to be a doctoral student at Boise State University, working on research around technology and student engagement.

Enhancing Learning Experiences

Universal Design

for Learning

Empower learners and encourage autonomy!

Incorporate choice about:

  • what students learn

  • how students learn

  • how students show what they know


Resources

Visuals, Choice, and freedom to maneuver the resources are important qualities I consider in all of the resource collections I create or curate. They must be visually interesting, easy to maneuver, aesthetically pleasing, and contain relevant information.
