==== Hello students and friends and welcome to my first Wiki page! I am new to this whole wiki or blogging thing, and actually now that I write it I don't think that they are even the same thing :/ I am hoping that this page will transform itself into a multi-media paradise where my students can come to post their work and access links to sites that will help them learn and explore!! ====



My Sweet Little Girl Ivy Addison Avila :)

A little bit about me: I am finishing my first year teaching in Chicago. I work at a charter school called Westside Holistic Leadership Academy, which is a campus of Youth Connection Charter Schools. My students have pretty much taken over my life...but that's ok because I enjoy getting to know them both inside and outside of the classroom. I am also back in school getting my Masters in Reading and Literacy to be a reading specialist from [|Saint Xavier University]. Other than that, I am just trying to keep track of all of the papers that keep getting swallowed by my desk!!!

Check out some of my links: Super cool pages made by former SXU cohort students  Also, check out a link to this wiki about digital story telling and multiliteracies: http://digitalstorybooks.wikispaces.com/Why+Digital+Storybooks%3F
