Transparent sticky notes are my jam. Highly underrated. A lot of high school students still have paper textbooks they can’t write in! Clear sticky notes allow students to be active readers and annotate without inking up the book! #studyskills #literacy #reading

I'm working on a research project analyzing SRSD-aligned writing feedback & AI. I'm manually coding my #qualitative study. I wanted to see if AI could do a similar analysis. While it could pull counts for Bloom's taxonomy, it wasn't able to do more complex analysis...as of now. #ai #airesearch

AI has helped me "visualize" my vision changes, profoundly shaping my understanding of educational #accessibility. While always a priority, my challenges transformed me as an educator. It also pushed me to write a book—more to follow! Nervously approaching surgery next month but looking ahead.

It’s #caturday, so please allow me to share a picture of Ruby, who, after two years in the same apt, just discovered we have sky lights. May your day be filled with as much wonder!

Inspirational! I truly enjoy seeing your art. I've started to watercolor paint at the end of the day. I like to consider it a literacy endeavor- a different modality for communicating my feelings and thoughts.
