Module 0 – Hunter

Hi everyone!

I am Brian Collins at Hunter College (he/him).

Looking forward to participating in CITE this summer with you all and learning new tools. Feeling very busy right now but happy to get set up with Commons and Flip grid accounts. Thinking about ways to integrate these into my summer classes.

Hello!

Kristen Hodnett (she/her) at Hunter College.  I work in the Special Education department as a clinical professor.   Looking forward to learning more about this new tool and engaging with others participating in CITE.

Hi! I’m Ann Ebe (she/her) at Hunter College.  I work in the Curriculum and Teaching department as an associate professor.   I’m looking forward to participating in CITE and learning with you all this summer!

Greetings,

I am Imani Irving-Perez (she/her) at Hunter College. I serve in the Special Education Department as a Lecturer in the Early Childhood Development and Learning Program and also serve as the Faculty Clinical Experiences Coordinator for our program.

I am new to Commons and like the platform thus far. I am also pleased that Flipgrid is being used for Module 0.

Looking forward to our work together.

Greetings Team Hunter !

It is very nice to see many of my colleagues in this group.  I am Marcus Artigliere.  I work as a Clinical Lecturer in TESOL in the Dept. of Curriculum and Teaching.  Most of my work is centered on the clinical experiences in TESOL and within the SOE.  I am looking forward to learning new technologies in these modules and building out my artifact with my team!

All my very best,

Marcus

Greetings Hunter Team!

I’m Maria Mavrides. I’m part of the  Early Childhood Program at the SOE, primarily working with clinical experiences and early literacy. I’m very excited to learn more about computational thinking and how to bring new concepts to life through my teaching and practice.

Looking forward to working with all of you!

Hi, Everyone!

I am very excited to be part of the CITE Project for the Summer ’23! I am Carmen Sherry Brown (she/her). I am an Associate Professor in the Early Childhood Program. In previous semesters, I have worked with the CUNY Academic Common on several projects. I am looking forward to collaborating and learning from all of the participants this summer.

I am familiar with most of the tools identified on the orientation page with the exception of CODAP. I am interested in learning more about this software and how I can incorporate it into my teaching practices.

¡Saludos! My name is Alfonso Pérez (he/him), and I teach in the Bilingual Education Program as Clinical Professor. This is the first time I use the CUNY Academics Commons, and I’m excited to explore digital tools and technology (like Flipgrid) this summer to enhance storytelling in Spanish and to inspire our bilingual education teacher candidates.

¡Hola, todos!

Hello,
My name is Jody Polleck and I am an associate professor in the literacy program. My pronouns are she/her. I’ve used Commons before to create an equity website that will soon be available to everyone at Hunter College. I’m not crazy about the platform (to be honest) but I do love some of the other tools mentioned (such as Padlet, Jamboard, and Flipgrid).
Looking forward to this experience!
Best,
Jody

Happy summer everyone!

My name is Jennifer Gillespie and I work at Hunter College and City College as a professor and supervisor for Early Childhood Education and Special Education. Teaching remotely in 2020/2021 was a bit of a crash course in digital teaching tools and I’m looking forward to diving deeper this summer. I’m hoping to use these tools to create an artifact to support teacher candidates in using technology to improve their use of a data informed instruction cycle.

Excited to learn from you all, as well!

Best,

Jennifer

Hellerrrr 🙂

I’m Beatrice (she/her), adjunct lecturer with the TESOL Masters program (and proud alum of the same!).  I was impressed by CODAP – I played around with the 2010 Census info and learned a lot about the diversity (*cough* lack thereof) of my home “county” in the state of Indiana and felt that much more grateful that Brooklyn is and has been home since I moved here permanently when I was 19.

Hello, I am Dominika McPartland, I am an adjunct lecturer in a TESOL department. Looking forward to meeting everyone and learning about tools that can support our teachers in developing fun and engaging lessons.

Hola!

I’m Maite Sánchez (she, her, ella), and I’m an assistant professor of bilingual education at Hunter College’s School of Education.

I’ve used Commons as a participant for in a couple of courses and projects but I’ve used it much. I use Padlet and Jamboard in my classes and I found them easy to use and very helpful, and I’ve been wanting to use FlipGrid; I look forward to learning this and other tools.

Im Sean Turner (He, Him, His) – I am an Adjunct Professor in Special Education – and teach a wide range of courses. I am excited about all the digital tools – explored so far – some of which I have used a lot (Padlet/Scratch) and others (particularly around the data) I am looking to learn more or ways to integrate into the courses I work with.

Hi Everyone,
My apologies for posting so late! I am an Associate Professor of TESOL. I teach courses a range of courses, but my staples are: Literacy and Technology, Instructed Second Language Acquisition, Teaching Reading and Writing to Adult Languages Learners and Technology in the Early Education classroom.

CODAP was a new tool for me. I am currently playing with it to see if I can make a map of where new TESOL admits are from or where they have lived. I usually have my students in first classes pin places they have lived.

Excited to learn with you this summer, despite my late start!

(One thing I do not like about this forum is I want to be able to delete the file I mistakenly attached).

Hello Everyone,

My name is Daniela Tîrnovan. Excited to be here. My pronouns are she/her

I have used Flipgrid before with my students, and I am excited to learn about more tools we can integrate into our teaching.

Hello everyone,

My name is Eugenia, but I go by Debbie (she/her). I’m an adjunct lecturer in the TESOL dept., and I also run the two adult literacy programs connected with our TESOL department.

Looking forward to using all the tech tools we’ll be exploring this summer and passing along this knowledge to the graduate students I work with. I’m only familiar with PADLET, so this should be interesting.
