Student Work
The following examples of student work reflect my commitment to students as researchers and to teaching critical digital literacy. The work below illustrates students' use of alphabetic text, visuals, sound, and illustrations to trace their literacy histories or "translate" their understanding of a particular subject or discourse community. Permission to use these projects was obtained via IRB approval and students' consent.
A group of pre-med students in my First Year Composition course created this Tumblr blog to investigate writing in the field of medicine. The blog included a Twitter feed with expert voices in medical writing as well as interviews with pre-med faculty on campus detailing their publication process.

One student's Drone Delivery Company is the subject of the business research, proposal and report presented via this website. You can view the entire site by clicking on the image.
