Digital Storytelling

The idea of a personal web space was something that I had thought of but had never really considered to the depth that it was presented by Gardner Campbell and Jim Groom. For me the web had always been a resource and a technical innovation that is helpful for the research and for learning.  However, […]

I really liked being in this class.  When I first found signed up for this class i had no idea of what I was getting myself into. The first day when he said no test I was like YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! My very first class where all I have to do  is learn and keep it to […]

Alright, so I just wanted to start off saying that I loved this class. It was by far one of my favorite classes I have ever taken here at Mary Washington! However, the first day I walked into the class and found out that we would have to set up our own spaces and eventually […]

I’ve always lamented the terrible computer training students receive throughout their educational careers, from elementary school to college. Quality digital curricula has been reserved for the IT guys and CS majors. For those of us who consider ourselves tech savvy yet not necessarily professionals, or even hobbyists, this has been more than a little frustrating. […]

OK, so I’ve been on paternity leave enjoying some quiet time with my ever growing family, and as a result the bava as well as my general annoying presence online has been limited as a result.
