An Introduction

Hello everyone, and welcome to my challenge to myself. I realized that blogging is something I enjoy and connect to. I appreciate the millions of bloggers out there that keep up with the trends and share interesting anecdotes and information of what they are passionate about. I realized that through my various experiences and my current studies, I too have a passion I would love to talk more about. What is that you might ask?: Children's media and technology. So in order to try and share in the affinities that bloggers get to share, I too want to start updating experts and non-experts alike on the findings, intersections, and developments in children's media, technology, and education. I look forward to sharing and discussing with any readers out there what I am seeing in the worlds of research, product development, and ideology.

A bit about myself, I am currently a student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education studying Technology, Innovation, and Education working towards a Masters in Education. In the past years, I have interned and freelanced for companies such as Sesame Workshop, CloudKid, and WGBH as an researcher, evaluator, and producer of broadcast, interactive, and outreach materials. I have a particular love for the use of gaming in education - particular for mobile devices. I also have a particular interest in preschool and early elementary educational development.

I am hoping to update this weekly if possible and try to post on a variety of topics. I am excited to start this: even if it ends up being me talking to myself!
