Design Philosophy<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

My design philosophy centers around the consideration of each learner as a whole person; every learner has a unique background, experience and needs. I enjoy creating learning experiences reflective of this perspective by providing a range of options and opportunities for learners to engage in authentic, meaningful and relevant ways. I like to prioritize both accessibility and learner agency, so that learners can fully participate in the experience but also have a sense of ownership and investment in their learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I believe technology can enhance learning when used effectively and I seek to use technology in innovative ways that support learning objectives and benefit the learner. My ultimate goal is to create experiences that are engaging, inclusive, and empowering to learners.<\/span><\/p>\n
