Over the past few weeks, I have captured an image/video every day and rearranged them in a sequence to reflect on my learning and to show who I am. As evidenced in the video below, I love traveling, eating, watching movies, and spending time with my family and friends. I am also a maker and an innovator! I created an innovative learning experience plan integrating Makey Makey into my ELL class. Using Floor Planner, I redesigned my classroom. Also, I learned how to use a sewing machine and decorated a stool and made a cushion for my dog. I am a Korean, a teacher, a female, and a Christian. It was impossible to give myself one label. While thinking deeper about who I am, I also thought of intersectionality, which is a term I learned in my grad course a few weeks ago. Intersectionality is a metaphor for understanding multiple different categories of potential discrimination or oppression that may compound and interplay in one’s life (NAIS, 2018). As educators, we have to always keep in mind that our students are all unique and be careful not to label them by seeing only one side of their characteristics, personalities, or academic performances. In addition, we have to be sensitive so that none of our students are discriminated, and also teach our students to accept others who are different from them. Resources:
