Research
Throughout my extended education, I have had the affordance to complete a multitude of research that helped form my deep understanding of how a person learns. I have explored everything from classic psychology to brain theory and have presented my findings through various multimedia. Through such, I have gained an appreciation for the sheer physical affordances and constraints that people/children encounter while learning, as well as an understanding that human experience is also a relative factor. In all, I have been able to take this knowledge to develop better lessons and units in addition to forming procedures in my classroom in hopes to ultimately create the best environment possible for learning.

In Practice
Over the course of my Master of Arts program, students were asked to take the pedagogy learned and personally develop it in a practical way. This included projects like student case studies and implementing lesson plans. From this, I was able to practice and reflect on real results. It was a way for me to hone in new technology sets and to develop useful techniques in my teaching. From these assignments, I was able to utilize the concepts learned in real classroom settings each year. These projects also showcase some of the technology integration that is now common in my classes.
