Kylie, I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to read your blog posts each week. This week I was particularly intrigued by your interest in how online learning can be more difficult for minority communities, as it is something I am also passionate about and hope to explore through my portfolio assignment. I hope we can share resources with one another in the near future. I also related to your ability to connect with online learners in K-12 at the moment. Online learning is a whole new experience for me and attempting to balance scheduling, understanding of content, and adjustment time, I can see much benefit in our profs being understanding and compassionate to the learning curves and daily stressors. It was so interesting to read about your experience with the design principles throughout your life. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
