Let's Navigate My Intercultural Communication Course: A YouTube Tour


When my students begin their new course,  I always want to ensure that they will have the best experience possible. To help them prepare for their course, I always craft the course template on Blackboard or Canvas, upload it, and then I create a YouTube video focused on how to navigate the course.

This has been very helpful for students. I definitely recommend Youtube as a teaching tool for our higher education students. Check out this video for my Intercultural Communication course!

Helping Students Find Informative and Persuasive Speech Sources on the Ebscohost Databases


As a speech teacher or communication faculty member,  you can definitely learn MANY things about the library databases for informative or persuasive speeches. One primary sticking point that I HAVE to incorporate in my speech assignments is for the students to utilize the library databases to find SIX (6) resources for their speeches.


This is a feat for our freshmen students and our senior-level students who decided to put off taking speech until their final semester at our university. Critical thinking is SO important for ALL students that I require them to learn how to use the library's databases to find relevant information for their speeches.

Creating an Interactive, One Week Social Media Assignment for Students: Personal Promotion Campaign!


As faculty members we need to discover ways to help students prepare for their world after graduating from your college or university. As we know, social media will be an important part of their careers whether they form in education, business, the legal environment, or in health services. Social media is THAT important. 




As a result, I created this assignment to help students build their competency with social media. Assignments like the Personal Promotional Campaign will help our students!

If you have any questions about this assignment, please let me know. I will be happy to share!
