On the Teaching Track
Insights on teaching, creativity, & faculty development
Paper Balls & Digital Literary Excavation
This week, I’m sharing the active learning strategy I use to improve students’ ability to write thoughtful discussion questions, as well as a look into excavating “The Nineveh Bull” in my intro to fiction course using the social annotation tool Hypothesis.
Lesson Plan Databases & Paragraph Maps
This week, I’m sharing how I use Notion to organize my lesson plans, as well as a brief glimpse at paragraph mapping, one of my latest open educational resources.
A First Week in the Life of Teaching Faculty
The first week of the semester has come and gone, and with it I’m publishing the first post in my new blog series about my work as teaching faculty at Indiana University Bloomington. This series is intended to document the hidden labor of teaching faculty that often goes unseen, as well as celebrate wins & milestones inside and outside of the classroom. I’ll also use this as a space to share strategies & resources that are newly published or in development.
Bringing Elizabeth Taylor to Brunch
On August 13, 2024, I was invited to discuss the life and legacy of Elizabeth Taylor on ABC Radio’s Adelaide Mornings with David Bevan.
