You are welcome to develop answers to the following questions as you see fit. To that end, you are welcome to post any one or a combination of the following modalities: video, still images, podcast, text, etc.

  1. *What name do you prefer to be called? Do you have preferred pronouns?
  2. Hometown and photograph of you (inserted in your blog so we can learn your name).
  3. *Grade level and subject(s) that you want to teach or other professional aspiration.
  4. What are you into; what makes you special? Share a few “unique” aspects about yourself that would help our classroom community get to know you a bit. Are you on an athletic team? Sing in the choir?  Are you trying out for a play? Painting? What are you planning on doing this semester in your life that is noteworthy?
  5. I want to know what you have been reading, whether for pleasure, school or otherwise. To this end, please share with the class a text that you have recently and fully encountered. (Include the reference to the text [chapter, article, website] and a paragraph about its significance to you).

Learning Style and more

6. *Being as specific as you can, what must be in place for you to feel comfortable taking intellectual and creative risks in a college classroom?
