Heyy :) I’m a Rider University sophomore, with an Earth Science & Secondary Education major, with a Special Education Minor.

I had a great zoom session today with @mgcjusa and @MichaelNitti4 @TheEwingSchools about professional development and tips for social media use😃

@drmarkpearcy and @guisegotteched I had a great time in class learning many different ways to use technology as a teacher and doing an escape room😃

Since it was snowy yesterday and I didn’t get to present my final project to the class, I am thankful for @Flipgrid for giving me a chance to present anyway!! #tec207

So grateful to have been a part of #TEC207 this semester! I loved learning from all of the wonderful guest speakers @mgcjusa had brought in to discuss their experiences in the education field. I highly recommend this course to all education majors at Rider 😊❤️
