EDUC 6810 Introductory Post

I am from Fairmont West Virginia. I went to North Marion High School and Fairmont State University.  I am currently teaching Math at North Marion.

Here is my Animoto Video

  • Why is teaching media literacy important?
    • So the kids can know what they are seeing and make sure it is appropriate.  Kids are all around media literacy.  They need to be able to analyze and determine what is wrong and right. 
  • What do you want to learn about teaching media literacy?
    • I want to learn how to appropriately teach media literacy.  I want to be able to allow kids to explore safe areas so they can grow in their education. 
  • What concerns do you have about teaching media literacy?
    • My concern is trying to be bias when it comes to sharing information.  I want to make sure kids form their own opinions about things they should watch and what they should believe.

      One thing I learned about you is that we might share similar religious beliefs.

      You seem similar to me in your choice of art work. The Alex Ross Justice League photo you used is one of my favorites. I saw it displayed at the Warhol in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago.

      One thing I like to know more about you is how do you keep Math interesting to students.

      One thing I learned about you is that you are a Christian.
      You seem similar or different than me, because you seem to like comic books.
      One thing about you i would like to know more about is, what's your average bowling score?
