Narrating U
Let me first respond to Heather’s insightful argument that people’s perceptions of others are “framed” by their outward appearance, especially […]

I just finished reading Dr. Castellon’s blog on Hypothes.is and found myself intrigued by the comment, “I can imagine that reading becomes more of an engaged process.” An app, such as Hypothes.is, allows us to ‘write’ on a digital document in the same way that we can write on a paper document with a pencil or highlighter. … Continue reading Close Reading
Google Search Reflection
These learning activities were very educational for me. Here is a summary of what I found in the image searches: Professors were primarily Caucasian men who had grey hair and glasses. There were very few images of women and there were only a few images of people from different ethnic groups. Even Donald Trump showed […]
Finding U: Reflection
It took some digging to actually find information about myself on the internet. I typed in Heather Strong, Heather A. Strong, and then Dr. Heather Strong and it was only when I included the “Dr” with my name that I actually found some links to information about me. Above I have included three snap shots […]
Narrating U
I believe there are some broken links in the UMW DTLT site. I could not find, much less watch, any of the videos mentioned in the Narrating U activity page. I tried clicking on the links provided in the activity as well as using the search menu on the UMW DTLT site. So, given that I … Continue reading Narrating U
Digital Literacy: Tracking Reflection
This activity was very interesting. I was shocked to find out that after visiting only 16 websites that I was connected with 76 different third party sites (see my featured image for this post). I was only mildly aware that my information was being “followed” on the web. I did not expect this much information […]
Hypothes.is
I have done lots of annotating in the past, but almost all of it with pen/pencil and on paper. I have used the note taking function within pdf documents as well as within my Kindle books, but they are not well developed in comparison to Hypothes.is. Learning how to use Hypothes.is is going to take … Continue reading Hypothes.is
hypothesis.is
Creating the annotations was an interesting exercise. I can see how this can fundamentally change class interaction in the digital classroom. The feedback is simple and immediate to a note, thought or descriptive process. I am not as prolific in my posting or in my observations as some, tending toward the punctuated thought, over the …
Reflections on Using Hypothes.is
I remembered to “tag” two annotations which I posted to the Hypothes.is website, but to make sure you see them, I’ll repeat them below, as well as my initial observations on them. It’s interesting to compare the 2011 and 2015 statements. Both include “Online teaching should not be downgraded into ‘facilitation’,” but only the 2015 […]
My Introduction
Hello Fellow Learners, Teaching and advising at MA Lead has been an engaging avocation for me since 2002 when I retired from my last position in educational leadership–Superintendent at Mount Vernon Christian School in Washington State. My career in education spans the years 1962 to 2002 (with a couple of “breaks” for grad studies and […]
