Hello. I am an adjunct instructor in the Department of Speech, Communications and Theatre Arts. Since January 2020, I’ve been able to connect with many professors via Zoom who I would previously not have encountered. Consequentially, I’ve learned much from my colleagues and I want to continue to learn about their pedagogical ideas. Additionally, I am interested in incorporating drawing as part of the learning/thinking process. (Evidence shows drawing helps process information visually, kinesthetically, and semantically.) I think this would be helpful for my students when they are constructing a speech (for public speaking.) A speech outline format is a different from an essay format and speeches often utilize visual aids, etc. My favorite movie from 2022 was “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” And I love the streaming comedies, “What We Do in the Shadows” and “PEN 15.”
