I’m really excited about some of the work my UT graduate students are creating using the Internet. I’ve curated a partial list below:
- In this blog, one student is purposefully connecting, “research-based practices with classroom teachers while providing a space to share stories that may or may not contradict evidence. An important goal for discussion is to understand the why behind the discrepancies between research and practice.” Check out the site, Blog for a Link.
- In this unique project, another student has curated stories told by elders called, “Stories my Grandmother Told Me.” Each link takes you to a unique recording and transcription.
- This student created a series of YouTube videos, called the Lyrical Linguist Challenge, in which she challenged watchers to sing a song in a language they were not familiar with. Ultimately, she had some take her up on her offer! Check out her directives at “The Lyrical Linguist”.
- This student created a great blog for the specific purpose of discussing inequity as a Personal Learning Network (PLN). Check out the “Educational Equity PLN” space.
- In this project, one student created a Pinterest site devoted to sharing information about UT Austin. She anticipated this being useful for new undergrads and graduate students. Check it out at “Explore UT Austin”.

All of my students did a fantastic job!
