ABOUT ME
I am a passionate and aspiring Instructional Designer pursing a Master of Education degree in the field of Instructional Design and Technology at The American College of Education. My journey into the world of instructional design comes from a passion for learning and fascination with the ways technology can enhance the learning experience.

I believe in creating a learning experience that is both engaging and transformative. My approach to instructional design focuses on the unique needs of learners and wanting to build learning environments for all learning types. I am committed to continiously building upon my learnings to ensure my instructional design skills are effective and relevant.

Learning Environments
The image to the right depicts the various learning environments that could be used for instruction and the qualities of each learning environment. There are three that are compared: online learning, blended learning and flipped learning classroom.
Media & Information Literacy
Media and information literacy (MIL) is defined as the ability access, analyze, evaluate, as well as create media. This process can be done in a number of different formats. Through understanding the the concepts of media and information literacy instructional designers can feel empowered to make informed decisions on content being used or created. The importance of being able to distinguish between what information is credible and what is not is a critical skill for creators of learning content. Today's digital world puts all sorts of information at our fingertips, but being educated on literacy standards will promote success (Leaning, 2017).

A helpful website to use as a tool for proper use of media and information is: https://medialiteracynow.org
