I've never seen anything like this. The things that can be accomplished with technology today obliterate what was accomplished yesterday and may yet be forgotten by tomorrow.

Video Used in Diverse Pop (EDU 363)

This is a video I made for our presentation on Hispanic American students.
The goal is to convey the struggles that many Hispanic American students face in American education. An activity accompanied the video.

Graphic Organizer

This graphic organizer is a custom design I created for the purpose of prewriting aids to a very specific type of writing assignment. It fulfills the GLCE/HSCE W.PR.08.02 which calls for a variety of prewriting aids to be used.

The graphic organizer helps students visualize a perspective assignment. Any writing assignment in which students are asked to provide different perspectives or viewpoints benefit from this type of organizer. However, my assignment is one in which students will be required to develop multiple perspectives on a topic and then present the topic from one specific perspective while including and referencing the other perspectives. The graphic organizer will very clearly outline this relationship for students and makes for an excellent reference tool while working on the project.
