Digital Literacy & Instruction

I design accessible digital literacy instruction for diverse learners, including research skills, responsible technology use, and foundational digital competencies. My work includes presentations, instructional guides, multimedia learning materials, and digital literacy programming that supports both students and staff in navigating online resources and emerging technologies confidently.

Projects:

The Biography Research Handout with instructions, steps, and images helping new users with navigating Canadian Encyclopedia.

Grade 9 Biography Research

I created an instructional presentation for Grade 9 students on how to use the Canadian Encyclopedia effectively for biography research. The project included a live MS Teams presentation, two slide decks (student-facing and presenter-facing), a handout, and an interactive Mentimeter survey to reinforce digital literacy skills.

The Fine Free Presentation video thumbnail on Youtube shows a student holding a book and smiling at a screen in a room full of books.

Fine Free Libraries (Video Presentation)

I collaborated with a small team to create an informational video explaining a fictional library’s Fine Free policy. While the project was developed jointly, I led the multimedia production by creating the full video, editing the sequence, and adding captions for accessibility. My teammates contributed voice-over narration and assisted with sourcing images. This project demonstrates my ability to communicate policy changes clearly through accessible, user-friendly digital content.

OLA Lightning Strikes 2025 Presentation

At OLA Lightning Strikes 2025, I presented ideas on how academic libraries can better support students with side hustles through practical digital literacy resources. I also created a mini subject guide to help students navigate online tools, research, and financial literacy materials.

Mini Guide to Side Hustles

This mini guide introduces students to digital tools, online resources, and practical steps for exploring side hustles. It demonstrates my ability to curate digital literacy content, evaluate online sources, and present information in an accessible, user-friendly format.
