I consistently develop multimodal assignments that teach students how to integrate their creative and critical thinking abilities while communicating in digitally innovative ways.  For example, students in my classes not only learn how to analyze media and literary texts but also how to present that analysis via a variety of media platforms like blogs, wikis, websites, videos, photo essays, podcasts, digital portfolios, and more.This section of my teaching portfolio contains some samples of recent multimodal work from first-year students in my ENGL 1101 and 1102 classes.
