Every single MPoL and TPoL that I have done has the same goal. At the end of the day, I just want to learn. I want to be able to learn as much as I possibly can about the world, the people, and the things around me, and be able to take that learning […]
Now, you may be asking, “What do all of these things have in common?” The answer is simple. Actually, not really. All of these things relate back to our most recent PLP project… School, What is it Good For? This massive project was accompanied by a massively loaded driving question.

Before you say anything, yes, I know it’s called an MPoL. At this point in my academic “career”, I have learned a lot about myself. Like, a lot. As I am looking back at my MPoL post from last year, I can see how far I have grown. My goal last January was to learn. […]
About seven seconds into my speech, the only thought that was running through my head was, “Amy, slow down.” I was doing it again. I was speeding up and going ahead and getting lost with what I was saying. I don’t remember what I said, if I faltered, if I sturrered. I only remember that […]
Hello Lovely Readers, and welcome back to another blog post? Are you ready to Think Different? In our most recent project, we were challenged to define a changemaker; essentially someone who thought different about the world around them, and used that thinking to make an impact in our community. In all of our projects, a big […]
Hello Lovely Readers, and welcome back to another blog post! Today, we are going to be talking about my year. Thank you for coming to my presentation of learning. I am the expert on my own learning. I am also responsible and accountable for my own learning. You can expect me to give an honest […]
