Our digital storytelling article is in!
The digital storytelling article I co-write with my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Catherine Stoicovy, has just been published in the International Journal of Online Pedagogy and Course Design, Volume 9, Issue 2, April - June 2019 edition. The article is titled, Digital Storytelling as a Culturally Responsive Instructional Strategy for Pacific Islanders in Guam and Micronesia. I hope you enjoy reading it and get ideas that you can apply in your classroom! Good luck!

Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday
| Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Civil Rights Leader |
No person in the entire history of African America has made as great an impact on the nation as did Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – a preacher, civil rights advocate, moral leader, idealist and realist. Since many young people had not yet been born during Dr. King’s lifetime, and may be too young to remember, it is our duty as a community of parents and educators to teach our children of the life and work of Dr. King. May his legacy to ensure equality continue to live on.
